English Antiques from the Victorian and Georgian Period

Eighteenth and nineteenth century English Antiques have always held a great fascination for their richness and eclectic value. English antique furniture from the Victorian period showed varied changes over the long period of that era, and, like the Georgian period, styles were influenced by the tastes of the different countries from around the world that the English were colonising and trading with.

The Napoleonic wars, India and the links that England had had with all the different continents also provided its british craftsman with exotic woods to use in all manner of object d’art and furniture, for example from a fine Burr Walnut Davenport Writing Desk or Secretaire Bookcase to the varying types of Campaign Furniture and portable Writing Slopes which would be used on long and frequent voyages from the motherland to its out lying colonies.

The Fine Decorative Antiques offered by Pareglio & Ayres are personally selected one by one. Each antique is chosen for its originality, uniqueness and usefulness, as well of course as being decorative. It is due to the many trips abroad that Warren Ayres makes during the course of the year to the principal auction houses and private contacts that has made Pareglio & Ayres a special port of call for interior designers and private individuals alike. Even the window displays which are changed every week from maybe a Georgian Sitting Room with fine marble fireplaces, gilded mirrors and fruit and satinwood inlaid card tables to a Victorian Parlour scene, have become something of an attraction.

For this Little Corner of England offering for sale English Antiques in Italy, the passion and dedication are second to none.
