Michael Armson Antiques

Description

A superb example of a Victorian ottoman stool with a rising top concealing a generous storage space. This is central standing and is veneered and inlaid all the way round in kingwood, walnut, satinwood and a variety of other woods. There is a drawer at the base and it stands on its original turned feet and castors. The interior has been relined. The top has a lovely needlework covering which appears to be original, this shows a few signs of wear, see photographs, but it is generally in remarkably good condition. Sizes: 32”(82cms) wide, 25”(64cms) deep, 19”(48cms) high. Date circa 1870.
I have reluctantly decided that after 60 years spent in this marvellous business it is, figuratively speaking, time to hang up my cheque book. I have therefore made considerable reductions to the prices of most of my stock. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if any items are of interest. Deliveries carried at as normal. If I can be of any help please do not hesitate to contact me.
I have been in the antiques business since 1962, starting in the family business in Staffordshire.
In the early 1970’s I moved to Hertfordshire where I opened my own business and created a limited company.
Today, my business is carried out via the internet. Any successful antiques business, and particularly mine, remains a way of life and a hobby, it continues to give me enormous enjoyment and satisfaction.
I hope this is reflected by my commitment to a very high quality of service which I have always given over the years. I prefer to deliver sold items in person where possible to ensure complete customer satisfaction.
