Dealing in antiques for the past 30 years and being in the trade now for 40 years, I have started to add a few contemporary pieces we create for Australian Interior Designers, Architects and Private Customers. Sometimes a customer needs something that has never been made before. The majority of my stock has always been quite unique, so why not provide a modern option of the same quality.
Take a look at mine and Andrews modern creations and consider a unique contemporary piece to mix with your beautiful antiques.
This collection immediately captures your attention with their unquestionable class, elegance, style and clean lines.
