UPDATE ON THE PROPOSED BAN ON THE SALE OF IVORY
The UK government has proposed introducing a ban on the sale of all ivory items (with a number of exceptions) and at the moment this is progressing through Parliment and the House of Lords and I expect this to become law before the end of the year, but we now expect at least a six month lead in time. It will still be legal to own ivory items and you will be able to pass these onto family and friends and as mentioned certain items will be exempt from this ban.
Whilst we all agree with the preservation of elephants and do not condone the slaughter of these animals for their ivory, I do not believe this type of ban on all antique ivory items will help to save one elephant unfortunately.
I have made the decision to dispose of my remaining ivory stock and am going through a process of reducing the prices of these items on a daily basis, updated 20th November, so if you would like to own one of these marvellous pieces, please keep checking the website and take advantage of these highly discounted prices. This will be closing shortly as I will be sending my remaining items to Europe for sale, so don’t hesitate to long!

Hello,
I have taken two new items into the Emsworth showroom this week, a tric trac table and a revolving bookcase. I will be in early next week to photograph these and add them to the website, so keep checking if you see them and are interested.
I will be changing items on display more often now, so keep looking in if passing.
Please remember that the Emsworth showroom is normally only open by appointment at the moment, so please contact me if you wish to view anything there.
