Such a fascinating, gifted woman from the early 18th century. Certainly one of my top five botanical engravers in history.
I’ve sold many of her pages over the past four decades.
Having recently purchased several copies of a re print of “A Curious Herbal” I decided to give a copy with each sale of an original Blackwell until all copies are gone.
Look under “Works of Art” – “Botanicals” or scroll through my instagram page to see my latest unframed Blackwell arrivals
Visited a new favourite customer’s home last night to see the renovation progress.
Looking fantastic for sure!
Thought I’d take a few photos of the Maria Theresa chandelier to show you.
The chandelier hanging through the centre of the shaped wrought iron staircase, resting along side the decorative balustrade.
Awaiting a contemporary sculpture to arrive.
Can’t wait to see.
My close friend and exceptional house painter Jimmy Jesus is doing all the final touches to their beautiful home.
My other mate, John Schofield, electrician is hanging the chandeliers along with Thom, many in the trade use Thom to restore and transport their best antique lighting.
More photos of other pieces that were once mine to come….

This stool could sit in most settings, from an English period home, to a modern Melbourne apartment.
Showing some of the many wonderful unique decorative pieces I’ve sold before year end and over the past two weeks of re opening, mainly due to my 50% off closing sale.
Several hundred pieces of furniture, art, lighting, ceramics and decorative items still in my showroom and storage. Best to look at my website to see more,

Phoebe’s parents Bill and Kate were some of my earliest country oak buying customers back around 1991.
Long before they or I had any children.
One thing I’ve loved over the years is many customers have become friends.
Having the same taste in rare antiques and art certainly helps to start and maintain such relationships.
It’s been a pleasure selling them some wonderful pieces and restoring a few over the past four decades.
Wow, that’s a long time!
Seeing each others children growing up becoming adults, albeit online, is always a great pleasure.
If you would like to purchase one of these bronze’s, I’d advise you to message me before you come in.
THIS ITEM IS SOLD
SOLD before time to post.
Photographed on Saturday, sold yesterday.

This English refectory dining table was made between 70 and 30 years before Captain James Cook was born.
Thats something interesting to think about.
I spent most of today re waxing this magnificent second half 17th century English oak refectory table.
Incredible what a good wax can achieve.
The thick single plank, cleated top, on baluster turned legs, joined by well worn stretchers.

I sold these to good customers twenty years ago.
They are now moving and need to sell.
I’m always happy to re sell rare items I’ve handled over the past four decades, as they’re so hard to find.

Connections from all walks of life. Completely different up bringings but many similar life experiences.
Love chatting with Abe.
You will be missed my dear friend and confidant ✨
It’s great to finally be closing. Something I started ten years ago when I sold my shop and sized down to where I started over 35 years ago.
I love the natural oxidisation on this beautifully maintained piece.
Could be cleaned and polished up, but not by me..
I bought this from Gary Kay, Antique Decor, High St, Armadale some years ago and found hiding in my storeroom recently.
So I thought to do a post on my Copper, Bronze, Pewter, Brass, Spelter and pressed metals around my showroom today.
