a lot gets shipped to japan and the states they`ll come over do the antique fairs  employ a shipper to container them and ship em over a lot of dealers will look up the auction catalogues here then get a dealer/shipper from to send them over a lot more than people think goes abroad  , 90% of what we used to sell at the fairs went abroad 

But at the min the Japanese and Chinese are big into buying back there own history.why jade and things from the old dynasties are going for mega bucks thats why I'm always on the look out now

Not personally my cup of tea and I’d imagine values won’t be that good.....it’s just very workmanlike if that makes sense.

I always thing something like that needs a very, very big and light room to sit in or it will just dominate and over power the space.

Sid on here is your man anyway

Seems a shame the effort and expertise that would of originally gone into something like that only to be worth f**k all now.....like anything i suppose trends change....probably look nice in some old country cottage

Not sure the history of your sideboard Micky but it's nice enough .

Fook all that Ikea shite ey.

Have you seen the price of Robert Thompsons work ?

The Mouseman of Kilburn ' North Yorks ?

Beautiful furniture.

A local old guy showed me his work just a few days ago.

His work was so intricate you would think it not possible by hand.

An ex miner and self taught .

I used to have a mouseman table and hall stand really quality stuff should have kept it mouseman still make good money

He's been dead for a long time.  Work is still made with his trademark.
