The Magazine Antiques provides some of the richest and well-researched material covering any collector’s favorite items, era, region, or maker.  I’ve assembled a list of Victorian-oriented issues below and in some cases I have extra copies available for sale.

We also have hundreds of other issues of The Magazine Antiques going back to the 1930s.  If you have a particular issue that you are looking for, inquire by email and specify the month/year of publication.  Or search back-issues by keyword and determine the publication date.

Issues marked as Stock are $22, which includes shipping.  Use the purchase button below and specify your issue date/year at time of purchase.

I just noticed this signed Alexander Roux piece in today’s Bob Courtney sale.  It is always exciting to have a Roux piece bearing the original stencil of it’s maker.  The expected sale range reflects this importance ($15,000 to $20,000) and it will be interesting to watch what price this item closes at since it is a more simple design and has some veneer issues around the inlay.

Judging by the date in the stenciled label of “French Cabinet Maker” Alexander Roux, this desk was made between 1850 and 1867 due to the 479 and 481 Broadway location and not the 1880 assertion in the listing.  Roux locations and dates can be referenced on our Alexander Roux bio page.

This Egyptian Revival parlor table constructed by Allen and Brother is an impressive one.  A table like this is shown in the May 1996 issue of Magazine Antiques and I wouldn’t be surprised to know that the table’s owner at the time, Judith Hollander, had subsequently donated it to the Philadelphia Museum of Art where I photographed this.  I don’t know for sure.

Made of Walnut, burl Circassian walnut, ebonzing, gilt incising, and marble, it is a large table - 30 7/8 x 30 3/4 x 59 inches. The marble top on this table is breathtaking and I would have liked to step up on a ladder to photograph it but they don’t exactly have those standing by for museum goers to use.

I still lust over some of the Allen and Brother items we’ve seen come up for sale over the past year.
