An early 19th century treen Go To Bed of fabulous quality. Go To Beds were used to store wax matches inside. When needed one was removed and lit (usually by a striker on the base) and then placed in the lid to give someone just enough light to get upstairs and go to bed hence its name. This one is beautifully turned and of fine quality.

A rare 18th century lidded butter bowl or mealey beg, used either for taking samples of butter to the market or by fishermen or shepherds for taking their rations of butter with them. Sometimes shepherds would bury the bowls of butter to keep it cool.

This has a fantastic colour and patina, the lid does screw on to the bowl but both have a fantastic warp. This is a personal favourite of mine.

A lovely 19th century antique treen snuff shoe with mother of pearl heart inlay to the lid along with brass nail  decoration saying LOVE, to the sole more heart decoration and steel toe cap and heel. Clearly a love token given, possibly for a wedding. In Pinto's book Treen and other Wooden Bygones it states that some snuff shoes particularly if they were accurately made with steel sole and heel tips were probably cobblers passing out pieces. Woodworking was an important part of a cobblers trade and miniature lasts were also a recognised passing out piece.

A lovely 19th century oak  farmhouse Welsh stepped spoon rack, of lovely colour and patina, can be free standing or wall hanging.

A lovely 19th century antique treen mahogany dish slope used for tilting the big meat dishes to gather the gravy into the well.
