Penny Street

Penny Street Penny Street opens the doors to time-travelled collectables from antique, retro, vintage and all eras in between.

There is something unusual and intriguing in these items that seek the company of an appreciative soul with a discerning eye for detail, style, charm and beauty. A likely heirloom that can realise value into the future – and passed on yet again to a new generation.

This roof finial represents the Roman God Janus, keeper of gates and doorways, with one head looking back at the past and the other looking to the future. It was created using a mould from a finial on a now demolished grand house in Bath. Happy New Year to all.

Fleabite - Jingle bells! Actually a small collection of Crotal or Rumbler bells. The smaller ones would likely have been attached to animals as a way of tracking them across the landscape. Bells of more extreme size were likely fitted to wagons to warn other horse-drawn vehicle users of their approach. The large one in this photo measures 5" across and is a beautifully crafted example from a Wiltshire foundry dating back to the 18th century. 🔔🔔
