A very large pair of Victorian builder’s timber trestles
each tapered A-frame with graduated bars for supporting crawl-boards at intervals
£295 the pair
Such trestles are the pre-cursors of the “scaffold tower” and enabled masons, painters, bricklayers etc. to work at height. Obviously, these are old and are sold on the basis of their decorative merits rather than safe working directives. We’ve seen such trestles used for events – be it cocktail bars, serving tables or pop-up shop counters.

Antique English Pewter Ale Mug,
£60Antique English Pewter Ale Mug,
An early 19th Century pewter Ale Mug with broad banding and a turned rim with an articulated 'strap' style handle and notched thumb-piece all on a heavy ogee moulded base. The 'Pre-Imperial' William III Ale-Standard verification mark suggests a date of manufacture before the Weights & Measures Act of 1835 and the distinctive arms suggest an origin in the City of London. A hand-cut design on the outward-facing side of the vessell indicates the historic owner and locates them in Marcham, near Abingdon in the Historic County of Berkshire.£60
