 TUESDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 2007: CEASAR HUT TO BE AUCTIONED FOR CHARITY
Dear Salvo,
We have an original 19th century Caesar hut that we are donating to auction in hope of raising funds for an eco-project run by local school children. We discovered the wooden hut during a garden clearance. It was built over 100 years ago by Knutsford carpenter Henry Caesar and his son Julius.
The auction will take place on the 11th September and is being held by Marshall's Auctioneers, Knutsford, Cheshire, who are auctioning the hut free of charge.
The eco project is like a mini-version of the Eden Project in Cornwall and we are hoping to raise £7000 for Sandiway Primary School towards this. We feel it is a more than worthy cause as it gives the children a great opportunity to be part of something unique in the county and therefore it would be greatly appreciated if anybody could donate or bid. We can accept payments via Paypal and cheque.
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,
PAST

 NICKEL TAPS FROM MR NORMAND AT SALVO
PATRICK Normand will be bringing a rummageworthy collection of brassware to Salvo. 'I've only just finished polishing some of the stuff from the drenching it got last time,' he said, referring to the scattered showers that punctured an otherwise blissfully sunny Salvo 2004 last July. This year he is taking the precaution of hiring an on-site marquee.
Sanitation was uppermost in the minds of Victorian England's medical institutions, and nickel-plated brassware deemed second rate, so solid nickel taps were often specified in hospitals.
Patrick is bringing ten pairs of solid nickel bathroom basin taps, at £90 a pair, from an institution near Brighton c1889, complete with a few matching sinks at £250 with cantilever brackets.
'By 1900 nickel and chrome plating was more reliable and solid nickel was phased out. The plating problem was resolved by plating a layer coppery nickel on the brass first, and then putting a layer of silver-nickel on top,' Patrick said.
He is also bringing a rare set of 40 pairs of matching oval door knobs with cast coppery bases, dated around 1915, and some wooden locks dating from 1870, and two rather earlier models from 1830, currently without keys - but Michael Brown, another exhibitor at Salvo, is a traditional locksmith who will provide keys on site for anything 'from a petite jewellery box to a parish church monster' at the fair.
[Photos: Patrick Normand gives away a brass and porcelain room number from an old nurses accommodation block with a purchase on his Salvo Fair stand, and the detail shows him polishing a solid nickel tap 'Approved by the Metropolitan Water Board'.

 LLANDAFF CATHEDRAL CARVINGS AT KNEBWORTH
CHANCELLORS, the antique church specialists from Surrey, will be bringing three carved wood panels forming pediments or spandrels, that came from a recent clear-out at Llandaff Cathedral.
The carving is overblown naturalised foliage, carved both sides of the pediments, and typical of the Victorian Arts & Crafts movement, but its date and carver are unknown.
Each spandrel is 6ft across and 18in high, believed to have come from the choir of the cathedral, and stored since its devastating bombing on 2nd January 1940. After Coventry, Llandaff Cathedral was the second most bomb damaged in second world war Britain.
'We collected a pile of woodwork from an outbuilding,' Steve Williams of Chancellors said. 'and there was some other woodwork which was much finer, which we've sold, but these panels are left. They are curious and bizarre, not what you would expect in a Cathedral. Not looking English or Welsh. There were four, we had another panel depicting the Lamb of God but that sold.'
Rosetti painted an altar-piece tryptych, and Burne Jones some stained glass, among a number of craftspeople and artists supplying Llandaff during its Victorian restoration by Sneddon - and maybe this woodwork had something to do with that.
The three panels will be on offer at £200 each at Salvo Fair along with Chancellors normal offerings of pews, lecterns, lighting, vestments, and other church paraphernalia.

 ELAINE PAGE'S CANOPY BATH COMES TO SALVO
THIS year will be the fourth year running that Cronins Reclamation have exhibited at the Salvo Fair. They usually bring a good mix of architectural and decorative antiques, some reclaimed materials, and the odd rustic feature - like a giant copper cheese vat.
This year's star attraction will be a fully restored Shanks and Co cast iron and zinc canopy shower bath, c1910, which comes complete with its orginal hardwood enclosure at 6ft 6in long and standing 7ft 6in high, and selling for £12,500 +vat. The bath came from a house off the King's Road, Chelsea, installed in the home of Sir Frank Lowe, and subsequently owned by the actress and singer Elaine Page of 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina' fame.
Damian Cronin will also be bringing Parquets de Versailles flooring panels handmade using reclaimed old French oak, which is a new range which they will both supply and fit.
He and John Bodrell of Cast Iron Reclamation Co have started a new business called Woodstone dealing in reclaimed stone and wood flooring.
