Vintage cabinet (Higham Hill E17)
A piece of history! The second photo shows the insides, labelled 'wine-glasses', 'serviettes' etc, even holes for wine bottles or decanters. A low mirror on top to make glassware sparkle! But I have been using it for general domestic storage and it works find. Scuffed in places. Needs a couple of strong guys to carry it down from upstairs.

Vintage sewing machine (Higham Hill E17)
Withdrawn
The classic Singer sewing machine, about 100 years old, still working. An expert told me it is not worth trying to sell because of the major metal repair to the base (it was dropped by a porter in Egypt!). I used it a lot and it still works. Lots of accessories. Modern instruction booklet supplied. It comes in its original box: I use a strap for safety.

Embroidered fire-screen (Higham Hill E17)
Withdrawn
Free-standing screen, about waist-high, with beautiful embroidery made by one of my school teachers in the 50s to celebrate the Queen's coronation and featuring "The Queen's beasts" which originated in Tudor heraldry. I have lived with it all my life but am decluttering hard. The feet supporting it need re-gluing or screwing to make more secure.
