This category brings together distinctive pieces that fall outside traditional furniture classifications, often designed for specific functions within the home.

​

The selection includes artists’ easels, firescreens, shaving stands, whatnots, folio and reading stands, Canterburys, dumb waiters, screens, beds including four-poster beds, and cellarettes and wine coolers, among other specialised forms. Many of these objects were created to meet particular practical needs, while also reflecting the craftsmanship and design of their period.

This section offers the opportunity to discover unexpected and individual pieces, valued as much for their unique function as for the character they bring to an interior.
