Everything good comes in pairs

You may remember some time ago me showing you the mantle cats (in case you have forgotten here is a reminder). They sit proudly on one end of the mantle piece grinning out at us.











We now have a pair to go at the other end. Yesterday we called at Eversley Antiques Centre on the way to visit my parents, there were many things that we were tempted by but there was one thing that we couldn't resist - a pair of mantle ducks. They do have some ago to them but have no makers mark. The way they are holding their wings is exactly what the runners do when they are getting the air to cool themselves down and drying themselves after a lovely bath.

I have put them facing each other as they looked haughty the other way round.







We also have the pair of Victorian camels that sit proudly on top of the davenport.

1any Victorian drawing room would be proud to own our collection. Shame we are in the 21st Century.
