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.)

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.

Last night after closing shop I visited my customers home, they recently purchased some beautiful art from me, as Julian Stafford, Picture Rail Systems hung them yesterday.

They look perfect for the spaces intended and Julian did a fantastic job!
