Greengrass Antiques

This English easel is made from turned mahogany and perfect to display your favourite work of art at its most impressive, whether in your home or gallery - or perhaps even for holding a memorable chart presentation to an impressed audience (so much more sophisticated than PowerPoint).

This 17th century Alphabet jug has survived its long life in excellent condition. Centuries of history awaiting a new home.

We have a fascinating collection of Meershaum pipes ranging from those carved with the image of fierce animals, through to those of the most exquisite girls, and even the faces of famous contemporary personalities. These works of art date from the 1880-1890s. Meershaum was a naturally occuring mineral and each pipe was individually created by a master craftsman.

Alongside our large and impressive pieces, we have a very extensive collection of smaller items for your collection or for gifts for special friends. Come and spend an hour browsing amongst them, we know you'll find it rewarding.

This beautiful sugar box was made in France for the table of a rich Victorian family. It was created from cut (not moulded) glass and sparkles like diamonds over its gold feet. Perhaps, these days rather than holding sugar, it would be more at home sitting on a lovely lady's dressing table to hold her jewels!

An amazing tea caddy made from deer antler with an interior of the same material. This beautifully constucted piece shows craftsmanship of the highest order and it's very rare - trust us, it's incredibly unlikely that your friends will have ever seen one, let alone collected something similar!

This graceful 19th century Meiji candlestick has developed a superb patina over its century plus of lighting the way. A really elegant piece.

Superb mahogany Victorian butler's tray and stand showing a lovely patina - the perfect way to have staff serve your breakfast, or alternately, the perfect surface on which to display a precious collection.

A very impressive pond yacht with a timber sandwich construction hull. Just made for a gentleman's study. Wire back stay needs replacing which is a simple task. Length: 800mm.

A commanding bust of QV1 sculpted and signed H.Monterd in 1877. On approaching the throne, the future Queen had said: "I will be good." She would have approved this work of art. It is good. Height: 750mm

Two early illustrated tamborines. One painted with scenes from a Point-to-Point country horse race, the other of a prancing horse pulling a troika. These would make wonderful and unusual decorator items, or excellent additions to a collection.

These cabinets were developed by the Globe Wernicke company and the construction is reminiscent of stacked shelves. They were popular in law offices - hence the name - and first made in the US, but like this excellent example, the company soon also made them in England for the Rumpoles of the courts. Who knows what lurid tales of the legal world it could tell?
