Emma Leschallas Antiques

A little bit of stand rearranging today to accommodate a few new pieces of stock. Lovely (very heavy) pair of C19th terracotta urns and a few other bits and bobs.

Monday morning moving some new stock around. Such a glorious September light! I’ve got a good collection of these large bread boards in stock. DM if you’re interested. They will be online on my website and the Lorfords website shortly. In the meantime I’m off to make the most of this beautiful September day.

Monday Moving things around and sorting out more new pieces which have just arrived from France. I’ve got a plethora of tables this delivery. Everything from a brass and glass mid century coffee table through painted cabriole, metal garden to rustic console (three of those). I’ve also got some beautiful mirrors and some rare early toile de jouy. I’m hoping to get it onto my website by Wednesday but in the meantime have a look on my stories or DM me for more info.

Thursday at Lorfords. Moving stock and getting things into place. Loving this early C19th painted Swedish bureau. It has such great colour and patination.

N E W S T O C K. Lovely van load of stock from Sweden has been unloaded today. Beautiful early pieces in original paint. I’ll be photographing it for the website early next week, but in the meantime feel free to DM if anything is of interest. I’ll pop a few details onto my stories too. Have a lovely weekend all.

N E W S T O C K Apologies for being a bit quiet on here recently, but I’ve been busy sourcing some fantastic new (old) pieces of stock. I’ve got the usual plethora of chairs - including several pairs, a couple of lovely buttoned sofas, a great floral painted chest (on wheels) in original paint, a gloriously over the top gilded and carved Italian chandelier, more mirrors, a pair of 3m long benches, a proper good old fashioned Georgian tea table with lions paw feet etc etc etc. It should be on my website soon, as well as the website, there are some pieces already on my stories, but just DM me for more information.

A few new pieces added to my stand today and a quick stand reshuffle. Lots of vintage Moroccan cushion covers, a set of French garden chairs, an early Chinese trunk, a few nice things. Off back into the garden to make the most of the sunshine. Have a lovely weekend.

Back in a hot and dusty Marrakech sourcing a few pieces from my friend Hassan who is still absolutely delighted that I want all his old broken stuff. Slightly questioning the wisdom of wearing a white dress to go grubbing about in towering piles of very grubby antiques….

N E W S T O C K.
These beautiful antique pieces direct from Sweden have just arrived at the hangers .They are being photographed and will be on my stand and my website by the weekend. Meanwhile if there is anything you’d like more information on please DM me. The colours are just wonderful. Faded pinks, greens and duck egg blues.

Bank holiday Saturday at home. Gloriously unexpectedly sunny and the perfect day for a bit of sorting out prior to a busy week next week. I’ve got some beautiful pieces of painted Swedish furniture arriving as well as a few other interesting pieces. Meanwhile, it’s back to shed clearing…..

Tuesday morning at Lorfords. Still a bit of sorting out but I’m getting there. The delightful little button back chair is one of a pair by the way….

N E W S T O C K. I’ve just finished uploading all the new pieces onto my website (the link is in my bio) and loving the new space

N E W S T O C K New stock and a new stand! I’ve moved round the corner in Hanger Two . Lots of new pieces still to come (delivery from Sweden at the end of the month) but in the meantime there are lots of pieces of upholstery - including this wonderful large deep seated buttoned three seater sofa, three pairs of chairs, an elegant daybed and some good single armchairs. I’ve also got a beautiful painted two door glazed dresser with drawers below, a painted two door cupboard with zinc top as well as a fabulous tripod chopping block table. There’s more on my stories and I’ll hopefully get everything on the website over the next few days. In the meantime please DM for more info.

Late afternoon light in the shop. A few new pieces of stock including this rather lovely 19th century button edge armchair and a beautiful toile de jouy pelmet.

N E W S T O C K. lots of new pieces have arrived and I’ve had a good old shop rearrange. Lots of chairs and this elegant chaise. There are more pieces on my stories and as usual everything will be on the website soon. In the meantime DM me if anything catches your eye.

Today in the shop. New stock. Pots and tables, mirrors and chairs. Have a lovely day.

Friday in the shop with fading late afternoon light and a new tree or two to add to the collection…..Thanks

N E W S T O C K. A good old full on new stock shop shuffle today. Lots of new pieces, upholstery and also three large tables. The table on the photo has a fabulous zinc top and I’ve finally got a desk again. It’s a very lovely plank top bleached chestnut table - much nicer than working from a sofa (which is what I have been doing)! More stock is on my stories and I will endeavour to get everything onto my website. In the meantime DM if you want any more information about anything.

Open for 2023. It might be January, it might be dark and raining, but the shop is de-Christmassed, the windows are newly cleaned and styled and I’m ready for the new year. Lots of new pieces in the shop and a few that can now finally be seen properly after being covered in pottery and glassware. Everything is on my website (link to that in my bio) or just DM me.

A look back at a few of my favourite photos of the shop in 2022. A year of exploration, travel, hard work, love and loss, joy and laughter. Happy New Year to you all.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS. A huge thank you to all my wonderful customers, fellow dealers and friends for all your support for my little business this year. It means a lot. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. 🎄.

N E W S T O C K I’ve finally finally finished unpacking everything and uploaded 56 new pieces of stock onto my website - www.leschallas-antiques.co.uk - the working link is in my bio. Now I’ve got to label everything up…..

N E W S T O C K. two days of unpacking,: 200 antique drinking glasses, 15 antique walnut oil pots, numerous confit pots, 12 18th and 19th mirrors, 6 tables, 38 beautiful early 19th paper books, chandeliers, paper covered boxes and early walnut and painted pieces, doing the Christmas windows, and I am finally finished. More stock on my stories and hopefully by Monday on the website. In the meantime DM if anything catches your eye.

N E W S T O C K. I’m back from Cornwall, the shop is open and full of lots of new pieces. I’ve even managed to upload it all onto the website (which is a first). Everything is on the website (the link is in my bio) but please DM me if you’d like more information or images.

Incredibly moving to be up on Pentire this Armistice morning in glorious sunshine in the spot where Laurence Binyon composed For The Fallen.
