An oil painting on canvas, early 1950s, signed ‘Bridge’ of an American Indian chief.

A strong profile, vividly painted head dress and optimistic feeling in a cartoon-esque style.

Wooh wooh wooh wooh wooh!!

Two mid-twentieth century needlepoint samplers by Enid Stewart.

Instead of enjoying in the traditional way behind glass we have transformed them into soft furnishing folk art. Lovely duck down filling means you can enjoy these one-offs in comfort and place as you please to best display the fine needlework.

But where’s the J?

Up until the twentieth century in Europe and North America, male and female children were often dressed alike in petticoats with long hair, until “breeching” occurred when boys between the age of 3 and 7 would wear their first masculine clothes.

This solemn little boy is oil on canvas in the Flemish 17th Century style, painted more recently, possibly early 20th Century.

This dessertspoon is 8 feet tall, made of fibreglass and was a point-of-sale prop in the 1970s.

Walking with it down Hackney Road, Mr Goldstein was immediately transformed into a character from a nursery rhyme….someone dishy running away with a spoon?….or as if he was looking for a portal back through the looking glass…

Fancy some 1950’s PT shorts or gymphlex girls shorts for a bit of weekend casualwear?

This pristine deadstock comes in men’s and women’s sizes (except the culottes!) and as well as the comfort factor, the fresh navy blue colourway is perfect teamed with crisp white or classic stripes, we think there’s something very British and  kinky about this gymnasium chic!

QUESTION: What do you get if you cross Bates the gentlemen’s hatters of Jermyn Street with the biggest fast food giant in the world?

ANSWER: M.Goldstein.

Our latest window is perhaps the most crowd-pulling so far. Ironic really, you can put a highly decorative antique on display but it will not draw the same reaction as a bright yellow capitalist symbol.

“Would you like fries with that?”

It’s almost mid-May - good weather for long johns?! It would seem so. These are off-white waffle cotton and will keep you warm if worn underneath but look pretty stylish as daywear.

Three hand-embroidered linen drawstring bags which are unused. Perhaps mid-40’s, they’re too good to hide away. Keep your smalls inside. Very washday chic.

A utilitarian object transformed into Pop Art. A well-used, obviously very handy working oversized bulldog clip. A really unique object for creative display but also in it’s own right has the presence of a Readymade.

As soon as we brought this screen into the shop yesterday it transformed the space. A woven reproduction of artist Marchetti’s late 18th Century interior scene has an air of grandeur and the scale alone adds drama to a space. Very theatrical.
