Contemporary Retro Inspired Collection by Allpress/Van Kaathoven 2018

Dealing in antiques for the past 30 years and being in the trade now for 40 years, I have started to add a few contemporary pieces we create for Australian Interior Designers, Architects and Private Customers. Sometimes a customer needs something that has never been made before. The majority of my stock has always been quite unique, so why not provide a modern option of the same quality.

Take a look at mine and Andrews modern creations and consider a unique contemporary piece to mix with your beautiful antiques.

This collection immediately captures your attention with their unquestionable class, elegance, style and clean lines.

Recently on exhibition at Melbournes Metro Gallery, now displayed at Allpress inc

Phacochoerus aethiopicus aethiopicus, originally native to South Africa, this subspecies became extinct around 1871. Cape warthog specimens held in museums lack locality records and the full extent of the Cape warthog’s former distribution remains unknown. There is no mention of this subspecies being obtained after 1860. The Cape warthog and the Dessert warthog are very similar in appearance, one difference is a lack of functional incisors.
