Antique Rarities

Description

Antique revolving magazine or newspaper rack by W.T. & S. (William Tonks & Sons of Birmingham) with impressed mark on underside of oak base. Amusingly a rather pricey 'competitor' who can also be found on Antiques Atlas is offering a similar piece by the same maker, which they think might be W.I. & S, for a smidgin under £1000 with the assurance that it is French!
If you are happy to buy this 'as is' : i.e. straight out of the Victorian house in which it has resided for many a year and don't mind, or perhaps appreciate, its lack of glistening brass and the wear and tear of a century or so of use - its yours for £145.
An honest piece with wear commensurate with its age and use but eminently usable in its present state, or would easily respond to some TLC..
