@thelaraspencer: Antique desk I found at a thrift store for $62 😍 The label on the back is from J. & W. Vokins, an art dealer on King Street in London. My Furniture Detective dates it to the late 1800s. And the chair? $14.99 at Goodwill! #antiquefurniture #thriftstorefinds #goodwillfinds #antiques

Seeing you on tiktok is kind of nostalgic for me. 10 years ago when I was in labor with my son I watched your show Flea Market Flip for hours while I was laboring, so whenever I see you it brings back to the happy day I finally met my son.

Judy C. :
J & W Vokins was a prominent 19th and early 20th-century British firm of fine art dealers, carvers, gilders, and framemakers that operated in London between 1812 and 1910. The address at 10 King Street, St James's (SW London) served as the gallery's final primary location from approximately 1894 until the firm closed around 1910. Key Historical Details: • Founding & Evolution: The business was originally established by John Vokins (1788–1832) as a carving, gilding, and frame-making shop. It expanded significantly into fine art dealing and exhibition management under the stewardship of his sons, John Henry Vokins and William Vokins. • Prominence & Royal Patronage: The firm grew to become one of the premier art dealerships in Victorian London, even holding a royal appointment to HRH The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII). William Vokins was so highly regarded in the industry that his 1895 obituary in The Times described him as the "doyen of his profession in London." • Art Market Impact: J & W Vokins routinely acted as major buyers at premier auction houses like Christie's. They championed influential British artists of the era, notably selling works by narrative painter William Powell Frith and Orientalist painter John Frederick Lewis. • The King Street Era (1894–1910): For the majority of its existence, the firm was associated with Great Portland Street. However, following William's death and changing commercial landscapes, the business relocated to 10 King Street, Pall Mall/St James's. This moved them right into the heart of the London art trade, directly down the street from Christie's auction rooms. • Legacy: Today, art historians, museums, and antique collectors frequently encounter the "J & W Vokins" name via trade stencils, labels, or maker's marks on the backs of high-quality antique picture frames—particularly distinct maple veneered and parcel-gilded gallery frames.

This does not look Victorian but Edwardian, early 1900s. This English period moved away from the heavy Victorian style and replicated the finer Georgian style of the late 1700s. A nice piece of good quality. that matters more than age. Do a search on Georgian bureau to see similar designs.

$150 is not twice as much as $62.50. That’s hilarious.
