Hedgerow Antiques

Hank Laman | Waverly, NY | 607-425-9901 | hedgerow_antiques@hotmail.com

Hi, I'm Hank, welcome to my site. I opened Hedgerow Antiques in 2000 and specialize in 18th and early 19th century antiques in brass, copper, iron and treen. Some of my items are later but I prefer to deal in items produced before the beginning of mass production, approximately 1820. Being antiques, they all show signs of use and age. I don't post items for sale if they have major issues. I will mention minor dings and imperfections in my descriptions. I shop around checking prices and keep mine a bit lower than the market. I do this because I enjoy the business and the hunt and I want to sell. I accept checks, money orders and Paypal. I prefer to ship using U.S.P.S. Priority Mail but if you prefer another way please tell me. Any item may be returned within three days in it's original condition for a full refund minus the shipping cost. Again, welcome. Enjoy your stay. If you have questions or concerns as you browse through the photos please let me know. I do this because I enjoy it. Don't feel you are bothering me if you ask for another photo or a more complete description. Thank you, Hank

Seamed teakettles in brass are rare. The seam dates it to pre-1850 when the process and machinery were developed to 'stamp out' rather than assemble several pieces. It is seamed down the back, around the bottom and on the spout. The photo shows a ding on the top edge and one of the decorative fasteners has been replaced. The overall height is 8 1/2"

Pair Georgian brass candlesticks, c.1800

These candlesticks were produced around 1800, still in the age of craftsmanship as evidenced by the lathe turnings on the undersides of the bases. The pushups came in handy if the candle was allowed to burn down too far into the socket. They are 8 1/2" tall with no repairs or damage.

Seamed lidded pitcher, c.1830-1850

A pretty little pitcher, it stands just 5 1/2" tall. It is seamed up the back indicating it is made by hand. The brass handle is securely fastened with the original rivets. There are a couple small dings present, copper is a soft metal and it's been around awhile. It is lightweight so I will cover the mailing.

Pair seamed brass candlesticks

Graceful pair of seamed candlesticks from around 1770. Seaming indicates that the columns were cast in two pieces and braised together. At the time craftsmen didn't have the expertise to cast a column in a single piece. This was their solution. The underside shows lathe turning as it should. One of the push-up buttons is missing. They're 11 1/2 inches tall.
