Brownlow Interior Design @ Milton Wine

I sub-let the shop next door to Milton Wine Bar and keep part of the garage for displays.

‘Brownlow Interior Design’ dressed this months room.

However, will stay as over the Christmas and New Year period.

Barbara and Alexandra Brownlow did a fantastic job, bringing the space to life with my furniture, Imari and art, adding their signature parrots, French Louis Style settee, Colefax and Fowler curtains, brass floor lamp, Chinese blue & white umbrella stands, Bragg & Co jungle green lamps and Behruz Studios pure wool flat weave rug.

Thanks Alex & Barb for your fantastic display.

An Attractive First Quarter 20th Century 12″ Terrestrial Table Globe

By Weber Costello Co. Chicago Heights, Illinois.

I love the steel Art Nouveau stand and the depth of colours to the globe.

Dating this globe is easy, firstly the overall aging and restorations to the globe, then the original Nouveau period stand.

But most interestingly is the names of cities and states around the world in 1925 had been changed.

In 1926 we had ‘Central Australia’ as another state.

This only lasted until 1931.

Constantinople was officially renamed Istanbul in 1930, among other interesting differences.
