Old junk

To fill a quiet Saturday, we headed down to Stratford for a little stroll, then stopped off at a couple of farm antique centres on the way home. Just browsing, poking, imagining this or that antiquated cabinet filling a corner of a house one day. Our own house? We're a little tired of renting. Any suggestions for the ideal item that shouts "Hey look at me - I'm old and British!" for which we should keep our eyes open? Here's us in front of an aged piece, replete with faded mirror.
