Hello,
I have just changed over a few items on display in the Emsworth showroom and you can now see a lovely serpentine chest of drawers, together with a new longcase clock. I have also changed some of the pictures on display, so have a look in the window 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.
