Jacksons Antique May 2023 Newsletter

Coronation Week

Five months into 2023 (which is flying by for us), and with summer soon approaching, we are anticipating one of the most important weekends since the passing of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth the II, that, of course, being the King’s coronation. The world will watch as the crown of St Edward is placed upon the head of King Charles III, who will be seated in the Coronation Chair, known as Edward’s Chair.

Did you know…. 

In terms of Jacksons Antique, we have a selection of newly acquired items that we have just added to our collection; we have a selection of carved wood items, including a beautiful Swiss Black Forest laying retrieverand a Black Forest-type tobacco jar carved as a rotund nobleman both dating around 1900.

We have also added Sarrancolin marble tazza urn to our collection, which has fantastic colours showing deep reds, silver, and pink. It is a beautiful country house piece with a central bronze patinated stem. In our oriental art collection, we have a carved wood Okimono (decorative ornament) of a male with three rabbits, a humorous carving perfect for celebrating 2023, the year of the Rabbit, dating to the Meiji period (1868-1912).

We are now only a few weeks away from our next fair in the calendar the Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair. The fair boasts over 60 highly regarded dealers selling objects from Asian art to jewellery.  Hard-copy tickets will be going out to our address list next week, so please keep an eye on the post for the tickets. If you are not in our address book and would like to visit the event, please send us an email with your postal address, and we will be more than happy to provide complimentary tickets to the event. The tickets will give free access to the fair for the full three days, and they will also give free access to Petworth House and park during the three days. For further information on Petworth House, please see the National Trust website.
