Canvas chair needing small repair (Central Crouch End N8)
Gifted
A small project for a DIY-er. In good condition apart from one end of the canvas back support, which needs restitching around a new spindle. The spindle is basically a narrow dowel with its ends sanded down, so easy to make. Photo 6 shows the other well-stitched end of the back support, with the tip of the dowel just visible within it. The 7th photo shows the chair folded, and the 8th shows the pleasing sliding-leg mechanism. A nice design, and worth keeping by someone who would use it!

White ceramic knobs (Central Crouch End N8)
Small: 3cm W x 2cm D. Suitable for drawers, cupboards etc. Not sure what size screw/bolt they need. 23 of them altogether. 14 ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, 7 have small chips in the collar, and 2 have a slightly larger chip. Photo shows the chipped ones in front (sadly dropped on hard tiles last week!) If the ones with a chip are rotated so it's below or above depending on the angle they're viewed from, it's likely to be unnoticeable.

Gifted
3.75 kilos of down & feathers In a 71cm x 60cm x 16cm cover. Bought as a spare sofa back-cushion inner, never needed. Label (pic 3) showing compatibility with fire regulations. Fully-stuffed: there's enough down/feathers in it to fill 2 or 3 pillows or a lot of smaller cushions. The cover has slight staining but it has always been kept in a dry place, so down & feathers inside feel in perfect condition, with great 'loft'.

Bath shower-screen bottom seal x 2 (Central Crouch End N8)
Gifted
800mm long, to fit 6mm thickness screen (though it might work for a 4mm one). It has a double flange, the lower one tightly against the bath edge to prevent any leakage, the other overhanging it to redirect most of the drips. See the second picture of the cross-section: the screen slides in along the gap at the top; the overhang flange is to the right below that and the bath-edge flange is visible at the bottom. I have 2 of them, so if more than 1 person is interested I'll give one to each.

PaintSamples Farrow&B,LittleGreene (Central Crouch End N8)
Gifted
25 or so small paint pots: samples of ecologically-responsible paints from Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Paint&Paper Library. Many of them are nearly full (used only to paint a rectangle of lining-paper approx. 36x24cm). Even those with less in them have enough left to paint a sample area. Almost all are light shades, mostly greens, off-whites, beiges, greys, blue-greys. Photo 2 shows 1 pot from each manufacturer, just as examples. (When full, F&B pots contain 100ml, Little Greene 60ml, Paint&Paper 125ml.) PLEASE ONLY CONTACT ME IF YOU'RE KEEN ON TAKING THEM ALL, as I regret I don't have time to offer different colours to different people. Thanks.

Basin inc. Victorian-style taps (Central Crouch End N8)
Gifted
Basin, porcelain, probably 50's, with painted cast-iron wall brackets, along with modern Victorian-style lever taps: instead of fully rotating these only turn 90 degrees, like modern taps. Both taps and basin in excellent condition (apart from 2 tiny nicks in the porcelain: see photos 3 + 4, one close to the plughole, the other on the righthand edge). The basin needs a clean-up underneath and the brackets need a repaint. These have a second, very useful, function: for hanging towels/flannels on.

Coffee table, square, rustic pine (Central Crouch End N8)

Coffee Table, glass top (Central Crouch End N8)
Gifted
Good condition, though frame could do with a little touch-up I00cm x 46cm x 43.5cmH The glass makes the item heavy, so it's probably better collected by car. However, the glass pane is immediately removable, has polished (ie.safer) edges and could go into a strong tallish backpack. The frame is very light.
