Property from the Charlecote Antique Store, Kansas City, Missouri

This lot is located in Chicago.

NOTE:

Charlecote Antiques was an anchor of Kansas City’s historic Crestwood neighborhood across four decades. The shop represented a multi-generational passion for scholarship and collecting with an emphasis on British Furniture and Decorative Arts. Opened in 1980 by Kaye Francis Miller, Charlecote built a reputation for sourcing fine 18th century furniture directly from England with a keen eye on craftsmanship and form. Todd Miller soon followed his mother into the business and further developed Charlecote into a world-class retailer. Todd loved taking trips to Europe to find beautiful and unique items to bring back to the shop. He became a staple of the art fair circuit around the nation and endeared himself to both customers and fellow dealers with his knowledge and willingness to teach others

The pair appearing fairly good condition. The gilt bronze is bright and retains an attractive patina throughout, with only small instances of rubbing. One example with a crack and a repaired crack to the decorative gilt bronze scroll behind the griffin. The marble on both examples with negligible areas of roughness and one example with a crack to the rear left corner. There is felt adhered to the underside of each of the bases. Some slightly loose components, not impacting use. Minor wax residue to the interior of the candle cups. Additional images are available upon request.
