GE-C comments: "I don't get fed up with how crowded things are. But I want a bigger house. If you known anyone with a bigger house, especially if it's in Devon or Somerset. Somerset's my favourite space. I want to be by the sea."

An elegant figure in the sitting-room

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:24:46 +0000

GE-C comments: "That's a proper blackamoor figure. You would have found that in grand houses. The Venetians liked these and made them from the 1750s - this one is late Victorian, there ought to be a pair. They should be a pair looking at each other. "The black and white married couple on the table - they started to be made when black and white people married. I got it off a table in car boot."

Kitsch wall figures

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:23:45 +0000

GE-C comments: "The wall hanging with blue turban, that's a Victorian one. It's a flower vase, they came in various styles. "The one with green on her head, that's Art Deco from the 20s or 30s. "The one with yellow skirt is a modern one, I think they are made in maybe China for a British firm, they come in busts, large figures, I bought it new in a shop - you see them around and then they disappear and I like to get them when I see them."
