18th Century English Country oak Wine Table.
The well patinated, circular tilt top, on a turned central column,
resting on three out-swept cabriole legs.
This is a great example of how to maintain period furniture, without over restoration.
Most important to me is the originality of anything I sell.
All this table requires is a slight re glue and re wax finishing.

A few details I’d like to share while waxing in the showroom..
I waxed up this side table in showroom today. While doing so I noticed a few details I thought to share.
Both front bun-feet are original, both rare replaced around 100 years ago.
Turned exactly the same, only a couple of hundred years later. The ware and borer damages make this clear.
Also the V-shaped supports, below each side of X-stretcher, having chamfered sides to hide their existence (so very well done)
Note: more photos of details on my website.
Several attractive gem stone necklaces, including Jade, Amber, Carnelian, Lace Agate.
With Cloisonné bracelets and Japanese Vintage chinoiserie decorated fan bracelet.
Have sold several over the past months, as gifts.
Very kind, thoughtful customers with exceptional taste ✨

Advertising in The World Of Antiques & Art 2003.
I sold this amazing dresser to a great friend Stuart, in Euroa. He had a wall taken out and re built to allow this magnificent piece to fit into his farmhouse. I found this magazine amongst many other publications from years ago.
The customer I purchased this from had originally bought from Lee Harper many years before. So I was very lucky to have the pleasure of handling this piece and showing off at a Sydney antique fair, also 2003.
(See the red fabric I used to line the walls with, in Carters Antique Price Guide photo.)
2003 Carters Antique Price Guide featuring wonderful pieces I’ve sold.
I recently re purchased a magnificent 17th century English oak refectory table. I remembered I featured years ago as part of a full page advertisement in the then popular Carter’s Antique Price Guide.
The other day wandering round a Sydney antique centre, I found the book featuring that ad!
Truly remarkable find!
So whoever buys this table can have the price guide as reference.
A few random photos of decorative items in my showroom, mainly from a recent private purchase.
More pieces than I can display, so please come in and take a few to decorate your home.
Anyway, feel free to pop in for a nice coffee on me, love visitors and chatting away, as I don’t usually get into work mode until around now!
