Grand Budapest Finds
This winter our travels took us to Eastern Europe where we explored new markets. While we did not enjoy the luxuries of the fictional Grand Budapest Hotel, we did enjoy the city of Budapest–a city of incredible charm and wonderful antiques. We acquired two spectacular secrétaires, a flame mahogany cylinder desk and a walnut root abattant. Neither an everyday find and only at Mill House Antiques. More than ordinary experience.
Do you know?
Do you know what the difference is between these two superb dining tables? About 225 years.
In 1789 you could have walked into an English cabinetmaker’s shop and selected the dining table of your choice. At Mill House, you still can – be it antique or custom. In fact, our custom tables are handcrafted with the same traditional 18th century methods that have stood the test of time. Choose from a variety of styles and sizes in mahogany, yew, walnut and cherry.
Whether you are looking for an antique or custom dining table, at Mill House you will not be disappointed.

Did You Know?
Did you know that 57% of Downton Abbey’s Facebook Fans are from the US and only 13% are the from UK?
Did you also know that the red sofa that is often at the center of comings and goings in Downton’s library is called a Knole settee or sofa? It is so named for the Knole House in Kent, which first summoned its construction. Originally, the Knole settee was a monarch’s throne. With its high sides and back, a monarch would be protected by the nasty drafts that filled the halls of these great manors. And when it was time for a royal nap, the tassels over the corner finials could be removed and the sides folded down for a power 30. Indeed, the Knole settee certainly gave the occupier a sense of grandeur. No wonder, Lord Crawley is often found quietly nestled in his Knole settee in the library.
While not everyone can claim heir to an ancestral home, one can certainly lay claim to this magnificent Knole Settee that can only be discovered at Mill House Antiques.

Did You Know?
Did you know that peat was commonly used as a heat source in England and Scotland as well as Ireland? When harvested from the bogs, peat, which is decayed vegetation, would be dried in large stacks prior to being burned. For many living in the countryside during the 19th century, peat was an indispensable means for heating a home. Due to the light nature of the dried peat, a special bellows was developed to deliver a constant but gentle flow of air to keep the flame alive without blowing the peat all over the stove.
In fact, the same principle for moving air is incorporated in many of today’s vehicles. While modern fans are designed to be more efficient, we prefer this handsome, old fashion peat bellows found in the upper reaches of Wales and available only at Mill House Antiques.
