Mixing antiques from different parts of the world can work very well. Not all styles mix well, but 18th and 19th century English and French furniture mixed very well.
Six from a harlequin set of eight, last quarter 18th century English elm country Hepplewhite dining chairs, with a handsome first quarter 19th century French figured elm, two plank farmhouse table.
Absolutely beautiful. Classic lines with unequalled style, well that’s my opinion.

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.
