£45.00

A mould used in sand casting. This example was one of many salvaged from the Footprint Tools factory in Sheffield and would have been a mould for a piece of machinery in the factory. Pine construction with its original black paint. The mould has been mounted on a handmade steel frame with salvaged oak base. A wonderful sculptural object. 27cm wide x 21cm deep x 39cm high

£150.00

A painted mahogany framed dress mirror with its original bevelled mercury plate mirror glass. Nicely aged but very useable. 163cm high x 56cm wide x frame 2cm deep or 3.8cm inc. back frame.

£325.00

A full length mirror made using a salvaged pair of French windows. The windows retain their original paint finish and are mounted in an oak frame on original hinges. The mirror glass is new and has been chemically aged to give a worn foxed appearance. The frame is strengthened with steel brackets on the back with lugs at the top to hang the mirror from a wall.

The photos show the light at its highest and lowest heights. 64cm leg to leg height adjusts from 123cm - 168cm (measured to the top of the bulbholder)
