Andrew Douglas Forbes Andrew is a fine Welsh painter whose work reflects his love of all things Welsh. He is also a Royal Academy of Music trained international tenor; he divides his time between Wales, London & Italy. Andrew has developed his love of things Welsh and has incorporated some pieces of our furniture into some of his latest works; " I have been combining my love of antiques and art, the painting of antiques speaks deeper and further the more they are explored." "Expressing Welshness is difficult, in the sense that one can fall into the trap of 'dingy' or 'twee'. I try to look further and deeper to find a fresh approach. The simplicty of line of Welsh Things draws me to explore the superb sculptural quality and natural accord of 'line', " Having decided that his work is best suited to a less gallery like space we have acquired some special pieces for this exhibition The exhibition is now over. However,we wre so pleased with the response, we will continue to have a selection of Andrews paintings at the shop.We are also planning the next exhibition in the autumn. ..........datesand details will be posted here.

This quite extraordinary primitive Stick back chair is such a quirky piece that it brings a smile to the face., we have named it The Garden Gate Chair. Made of ash & oak with traces of green paint, it has a wonderful crusty surface. Probably from the West Country and dates from the late 18th /early 19th century.

Our stock reflects our own rather varied tastes. We have a particular love of Welsh country furniture.The majority of the Welsh pieces that we stock date mainly from the mid 18th through to the mid 19th century. Welsh country furniture is an important part of our history and heritage, each piece is utterly individual reflecting the hand of its maker. We are especially passionate about pieces that have really good colour and patina.

As you can see we also stock other styles of furniture including mahogany, rosewood and walnut, along with the occasional painted and gilded piece; complemented by decorative and interesting objects.
