After nearly two years of retirement sale and selling 2/3 of my entire stock at heavily reduced prices.
I was nearly at the end of trading, until my Son Charlie and daughter Allie informed me they would like to take over the family business.
This is very touching to me, I love their devotion to my business of 34 years. So SALE signs about to be removed pricing back to normal.
I’m so happy I popped in to see Charlie give his gift of appreciation to Amir & Omid, for having him work there this year.
Charlie had the number plate ‘Behruz’ made. Was very special seeing them open the box.
The boys and entire wonderful staff have been a true blessing for Charlie, like a second family.
Cleaning them up before delivery to a very nice couple.
But yesterday I purchased a huge amount of incredible 17th – 18th century botanicals. Besler’s 1613, Blackwell’s 1730 amazing 18th century palm engravings.
I recently replaced the plants to my jardinier in living/dining room. They’re quite perfect, but very hard to photograph.
I have many plants inside and outside my apartment, most belonged to my mother Nina, so I love having them around.
I look after my plants even compliment every now and then..
The flowers I regularly place on my dining table “interlopers” to the indoor plants are also well maintained, trimmed and re watered, to last as long as possible.
Thought I’d take a few quick snaps this morning and post.
Flowers and antiques blend beautifully ✨
Two out of three storerooms SOLD!
My son, Charlie will be joining the business next year and eventually taking over.
It’s wonderful having his fresh energy involved.

Come in and see the rarest pieces in Australia!
A recent purchase from another dealer.
The chest had been coloured to a dark green oak and had been lacquered.
I could tell there was something more special beneath that finish.
As soon as we started cleaning it back, we discovered the Yew wood cross-banding then the solid Yew wood base.
Such a wonderful discovery!

18th century English country oak gate-leg table.
Charlie restored this table for Behruz, where it sits in their entrance foyer to the centre of a stunning rug.
Charlie’s worked with Amir, Omid and all their wonderful staff for some time now, until he departs for Thailand later this month.
This is Charlie’s ‘thank you’ to the boys
Thanks to Jack for showing him.
I look forward to continuing to teach Charlie restoration skills…

The Gras bayonet was one of the last French sword bayonets.
It was manufactured to fit the French model 1874 Gras infantry rifle.
The Kitchen:
The applied wall shelving was highlighted dark green and gold, from memory. We suggested to re paint to blend with the existing wall colour.
Bridget Evans and Suzi Mann, cut back and re painted them, while the furniture was being placed. I had such a wonderful team back in 2010.
Having the best suited assistance is imperative when running a specialist business.
As you can see how nice they now blend in, rather than fighting for attention with ceramics.
We were very proud of this change.
