A characterful mixed set of five antique wooden moulding planes, each with its original iron and showing the warm patina of late-Victorian and early-20th-century bench use. These examples were produced by noted British makers including Barber, Dawson, Tucker, Moss, Buck and Capon, with several clearly stamped to the toe and heel.
This is a genuinely practical decorator’s or restorer’s lot, ideal for display in a workshop interior, for use by traditional woodworkers, or for collectors seeking authentic period examples. The set includes a variety of beading and astragal profiles, with attractive figuring to the beech and rich colour throughout. All irons are present and seated.
