Just Arrived! Hunt for New Treasures at Regent Antiques

The last few weeks have seen our expert buyers very busy hunting for the best antique treasures to offer to our clients. Check out these wonderful new arrivals.

We are very proud to be able to offer for sale this gorgeous pair of antique Adam Revival satinwood concave side cabinets with beautiful hand-painted floral decoration, dating from the late 19th century.

Each cabinet has a useful frieze drawer above a pair of cupboard doors, with oval panels that have striking hand-painted decoration of urns of flowers, in the manner of Angelica Kauffman.

Angelica Kauffman (1741 – 1807) was a Swiss-born Austrian Neoclassical painter who had a successful career in London and Rome. While Kauffman produced many types of art, she identified herself primarily as a history painter, an unusual designation for a female artist in the 18th century. The works of Angelica Kauffman have retained their reputation. By 1911, rooms decorated with her work were still to be seen in various quarters.

These lovely cabinets are each fitted with a central shelf and are raised on decorative swept bracket feet.

A very rare and unusual Victorian tray by George Richmond Collis & Co

This magnificent large silver-plated tray is of unusual baroque shape and features a fabulous border with richly chased foliate and floral decoration, grapes, vines and four exquisite classical heads.

The tray is raised on four solid and richly chased matching feet in the shape of foliate, grapes and vines. It will look fabulous on your sideboard with sme decanters. The quality and craftsmanship throughout the piece are truly second to none.

The timeless beauty of Royal Worcester porcelain
