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.
Both appearing in overall good, stable, and ready to place condition. The smaller example's hinges work well and the lid fits as it should. The lid for the interior compartment with a split along the border; in need of repair. The caddy with scattered nicks, scuffs, and scrapes consistent with age and use. There is a key which works in the lock. The larger example's hinged lid opens and closes smoothly and the lid fits as it should. The top of the caddy is missing an approximate two inch long trim element from the proper right side. The interior with a few missing pieces of veneer surrounding the opening for the glass mixing bowl. The lid for the compartment with an age split along the border; not appearing to impact stability. The paper lining the interior of the lid with some staining and discoloration. Flaking to the metal lining of the interior compartment. With a key which fits the lock. Additional images are available upon request.
