vintage Ercol sofa for sale on eBay for Charity in support of St Luke's Cheshire Hospice
(Ends 17 May, 2013 19:22:43 BST)

A vintage Ercol sofa is at or near the top of many a mid century modern fan’s furniture wish list. This one’s being sold by St Luke’s Cheshire Hospice*. It needs new cushion covers and one of its legs is slightly damaged, but its webbing looks to be in great nick… and with a starting bid of £49.99, it’s still a bargain! It’s offered as a “collection only” item from their warehouse in Winsford, Cheshire.

*St Luke’s Cheshire Hospice provides palliative and specialist palliative care to those adult patients with life threatening or life limiting disease. The emphasis of care is on the promotion of dignity and quality of life for patients, and support for family and friends during and after the illness. Care may be as an outpatient attending Hospice Day Care, Complementary Therapy Clinic or Lymphoedema Clinic or inpatient admitted for symptom control, health assessment or terminal care.

We’ve just spied this beautiful vintage Stavangerflint plate on the web. It was hand painted by Inger Waage in the 1950s/60s. These female faces always make me think of Cleopatra or Spanish señoritas – it must be their huge almond-shaped eyes and big hooped earrings!

She’s currently up for sale on eBay for charity in support of Age UK South Lakeland*

We’ve sold a few these vintage Lord Nelson sugar containers in our shop in the past – but they don’t come along that often. This Brown Soft Sugar storage jar is currently being sold on eBay for Charity in support of Pembrokeshire Frame Ltd*. It’s very of its time – illustrated with the Tate + Lyle sugar bag design from the 60s or 70s.

As well as the Brown soft sugar storage jar, there are Icing sugar, Caster sugar and London demerara sugar available. The jars come in two sizes and you can also get the caster sugar design as a sugar shaker/dredger. We have a personal collection of these jars that we use on a daily basis – but alas, we need the large demerara jar to complete our set – if you have one to sell, please get in touch!

1930s/40s New World Radiation Cooker

This fantastic survivor is crying out for the right retro home to call its own. With the help of a little restoration and TLC this New World Radiation Cooker will look the part in a sugared almond coloured kitchen surrounded by vintage enamelware, formica and perhaps a linoleum floor!

100% of the final price achieved goes to Pembrokeshire Frame*.
