Restored, redesigned and reseated antique French country chairs

I found this chap, looking decidedly bleary and worse for wear and tear, at a vide in Auvillar t’other day. It’s a late 19th siecle nursing chair. I’m v chuffed with how it has answered up. #chair #nursingchairinstagram.com/p/CEyYl9Kgtd2/…


This is that collapsible, half moon table that I strung back along. There was no space in the mobilom to put it. It is now happily putting itself about in our sitting room. Looks nice enough, I reckon. #tableinstagram.com/p/CEjc4hDAC80/…


Rock pools. The stringing of this pert little number was inspired by a pic of an Orcadian rock pool. I usually steer clear of this type of straight backed chair, but this wee one was so pretty that I was beguiled… instagram.com/p/CEhbcfwAEqK/…


We had an all day wet day yesterday, so I strung this little basket. He’s about to embark on a new life as a waste paper basket in a bathroom. I hope he enjoys it. #basket #wastepaperbasket #bathroom #basketryinstagram.com/p/CEdmNVBgIQ0/…


I found this chap at the market in Caussade. It was just a skeleton. “Hello,” I said to myself, “here are some bones that need rustiqueifying.” I paid the ransom and skiddadalled. It’s a little on the wonky side of… instagram.com/p/CEbmYQrgPY1/…


Lauzerte pair. They had a vide/brocante there a week or so ago ad I managed to talk a stall holder into parting with them. One is small, the other less so. Tidy #basket #pair #pairofbaskets #videgrenier #brocanteinstagram.com/p/CEXbX-ngN_a/…


Another rustiqueification of another abused child’s chair. This one had been unrelentingly varnished. Even George had to work overtime to remove it. I’ve called it Thrupence. #chair #childschair #georgethegrinderinstagram.com/p/CEJL0Q2A45N/…


I found this unusually shaped fellow at Montpezat. I’d never seen the like before and don’t know why it’s made like that. It could be a very uncomfortable hat, a precursor to the roulette wheel or turn it other way… instagram.com/p/CD-2q2xgX4u/…


This is a first for me, a rustiqueified bed thingy. I have no idea as to what they are called, but I remember using a wheeled version during one of my extended stays in hospital. This one is a home use version for a… instagram.com/p/CDO7jFAgxt0/…

There was a Brocante in Septfonds last Sunday, the first since the bug struck. I scored this basket that was looking a little bleary and worse for wear and tear. It’s called Wild Wind and it’s for carrying dreams… instagram.com/p/CBx3bmagoQt/…


Shoe shine day. These boots were made for walking. Odd boots for odd legs. #shoeshine #boots #legs #feet #socks #odd #thelotofthem @ Chateau de Martel instagram.com/p/CBaQ401gIs3/…


Blob and the Elephant. A book written by me. I wrote the words back along, but had to wait until lockdown to get the inspiration, confidence and time to draw the pics. I’m excited that is now out there. This is for… instagram.com/p/CBWSgPPA1iK/…


Schmetterling. Two odd stools woke up this morning forever joined, destined to spend the rest of their lives as a three bum bench or as a bumwarmer. This design is a variation of one I had only used sparingly before… instagram.com/p/B9JqAtfAAnm/…
