Delivery & Collection

Most mainland UK locations are covered by our standard £65 furniture delivery service, with a reduced local delivery rate of £30 available within 15 miles of Bourne End SL8.

Some remote or harder-to-reach areas may require a different delivery charge, so please check our Delivery Information page before ordering or contact us if unsure.


Furniture deliveries are carried out by one-man couriers, so assistance will usually be required to help unload the item at delivery. Delivery is generally to the door, although some drivers may assist further at their own discretion.


We aim to deliver most furniture items within 10 working days, depending on location and courier routes.

Condition & Authenticity

We aim to describe the condition of every item as honestly and accurately as possible, with any notable wear, repairs, damage or imperfections clearly shown in both the description and photographs.


Established since 2005, we have built a strong knowledge of interiors, antiques and period furniture, allowing us to confidently identify and catalogue our pieces.


If you would like a more detailed condition report, additional photographs or a walkaround video via WhatsApp or SMS, we are always happy to help.


Please contact us at furniture_@live.co.uk with any enquiries.

A More Sustainable Choice

Choosing antique and reclaimed furniture is one of the most sustainable ways to furnish a home.


Older furniture was often built using solid timber and traditional craftsmanship designed to last for generations, rather than a few years.


By giving these pieces a new home, you help reduce demand for mass-produced furniture while keeping beautiful, characterful items in circulation for years to come.

Description

This authentic salt-glazed jug is finished in a warm, honey-brown ochre glaze with dark brown slip-trailed detailing. The body is decorated with three circular medallions featuring relief-molded classical busts, each encircled by a moralistic motto in raised lettering:

  • "Follow the straight line thou shalt see..."

  • "Curved is the line of beauty..."

  • "Straight is the line of duty..."

The base carries the impressed Doulton Lambeth "rosette" mark, a signature of quality and heritage. This is a substantial and tactile piece of English ceramic history, perfect for serious collectors of Doulton ware or as a distinguished decorative accent.

Condition

The jug is in fair antique condition and is sold with several historic repairs:

  • Repairs: There are visible historic repairs throughout, most notably where the handle has been reattached at both the top and bottom joints (see detail photos).

  • Surface: There is a visible repair to the inner rim near the handle and a small glaze chip/nibble to the spout.

  • Finish: The stoneware body shows light age-related surface wear and a few minor firing imperfections typical of the salt-glazing process.

  • Build: Despite the historic repairs, the jug is stable and remains a beautiful display piece.

Dimensions

  • Height: 16 cm
