Forever changing the surroundings in my apartment.

Forever changing the surroundings in my apartment. The latest change, replacing the Italian Murano glass retro penguins, for the 19th century Chinese Bronze Foo Dog Lion Figures.
Interestingly, everyone I’ve asked prefers the Murano Penguins.

The final photo is from Russell Winnell, when he photographed my apartment a couple of years ago. I wrote a story for a magazine to accompany the photos, however I’ve made so many bold changes, I can’t give those photos to print, so must get Russell back!

I’ve changed the wording on my LinkedIn profile, indicating I would like to use some of my profession as an advisor within Australia and around the world.

I’ll attach my introduction below. I’ve decided once I close shop in April, I’ll prepare to move to Sydney.

 

Elegant trio of vintage retro black glass birds.

And then there were three✨

Elegant trio of vintage retro black glass birds. The black pair now joined by an off white interloper.

An interesting word to name the welcomed new addition, quite the opposite to be honest. But was just thinking of the Labor PM and Greens leader and for some reason “Interlopers” came into my mind!

However, not wanting to be political on my business page, I shall stop!

Elizabeth Blackwell. A Curious Herbal. 1737 – 1739.

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

 

Maria Theresa Chandelier hanging in customers home

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.
