Visiting a customer’s beautifully furnished apartment and enjoying their view.

I had the great pleasure selling them this dresser, table, chairs and other set of chairs (re sold for them when upgraded to this magnificent set of country Chippendale’s a few years ago)

I remember buying this exceptional 18th century country oak dresser base in Chester UK many years ago.

Once I close, I’ll take the time to produce a clip of all the wonderful views I’ve enjoyed from many customers homes and apartments…

That will be fun.

In the meantime,enjoy their beautiful view ✨

Recently restored - unusual 19th century English figured walnut extension dining table

Recently restored – unusual 19th century English figured walnut extension dining table

Was coated with thick pasty oxides years ago, that hid the beautiful natural grain.

There were strong black rings to the top and leaves and a few chips.I hand stripped, Eddie patched the tops and bleached the rings.

Then I sealed and hand finished the table is as lighter natural finish as possible, using traditional french polishing and modern protective finishes.

“Lest we forget”

“Lest we forget”

Remembering our ANZACS, for the sacrifices of those who have died and been injured in conflict, should not be forgotten and that their service should be honored and remembered.

We live in a blessed country, full of opportunity to anyone willing to give it a good crack! Thanks to those soldiers that lay their lives down for us, so we could all have good, safe lives, with every opportunity, compared to many other countries around the world…

As I did moving here with absolutely nothing, aged 17 to start a new life, created four beautiful children, built a successful business and have had a great life, even better now after all these years 🙏
