Last night I delivered this decorative French walnut petrin to one of my favourite customers.
Not the best lit apartment, so I included a photo from showroom. The piece certainly lifted her living room. Especially when we placed the two rare Masons plates I sold to her recently.
FYI, paintings above, Bowna NSW, Hilary Jackman 1989 Australia Club, 110 William St, Melbourne. Dora Wilson Girl With Dog,
Septimus Power (My favourite) love this one. In the entrance her portrait painted aged 23, by Paul Fitzgerald 1960
Had to share this, ‘with permission’ Such a wonderful painting.
I love seeing customers homes, you’d be amazed at how many beautiful, rare pieces I see throughout Australia.
