The rich hues of wood...

Have you ever lusted after a piece of furniture so much, it just made your skin crawl...well, I have always wanted a Victorian organ, not to play, unless you want to be bored to death with chopsticks, but just to enjoy the workmanship of the piece...well, Manley's has this most wonderful piece, an organ turned computer desk...isn't it just FAB!!!

I'm also a sucker for those tall kitchen cupboards, this with it's original finish...pine.

This cute lil' built-in medicine cupboard is another original finish piece, with bits of alligatoring to the varnish.

Old work tables filled with the tools of the trade...homemaking...

What weary hunter or sportsman would like to kick off his(or her) boots in this warm lodgey environment...
A once grand Victorian chest of drawers...now this is what I'm talkin' about...I love this look of dark varnish in an old house...perhaps a pink chateau...

That's what I love about Manley's, each piece is move-in ready...rubbed down with a fresh coat of oil, giving them that 'new out of the showroom' smell. What a grand bookcase this one is...

And lastly, a sweet setting of table and chairs, perfect for that nook that will only hold a small grouping, or perhaps a place by the door where purse and keys are laid.


Whatever your needs...Manley's Antiques will make you drool and start questioning the need for change. It's pure torture for me to live so close...but I manage...LOL...
