Recommended Posts

Rare C.1900's solid oak Globe Wernicke desk, originally bought by my great-aunt.

Dimensions 111h x 50d x 87w

Original blotter replaced and there are a couple ink stains on the inside as well as a few chips on the front right of the desk top. The front legs have come away into two pieces but could easily be stuck back in place (as shown in the photo) once in situ. It remains a beautiful piece of furniture however - in professionally refurbed condition you'd pay at least ?1200

Original handles and knobs. The lower storage section retains the patent scissor action mechanism, and there are two drawers, one lockable with the same key as for the top desk. it also has other insert options for dividing up the interior of the desk (pigeon holes)

    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
