Some of my contemporary pieces in my home and in my showroom (Video) Mixing 16th – 21st century furnishings and art is so very enjoyable to me. Since arriving a week ago I’ve already sold 1/3 of my shipment. Occasional tables, Wall sconces, glass clocks and lamps, mirrors. Also selling this magnificent set of dining chairs. Sold the chestnut farmhouse table to Southern Highlands last week. That’s probably why I loved re dressing The Johnston Collection 2010 (see photos on my website under – media) as William Johnston also used his homes as showrooms. Such a great part of my business.
20th Century Regency style standard reading lamp I know who made this lamp, as I used to buy from Chris and re sell back in the 90s. Chris had this shop before I moved in 1990, then he was a couple of blocks up “Lighthouse Antiques”, haven’t seen Chris for nearly a decade, great bloke. Anyway, it’s nice to have one in stock again. You’ll notice the arm and shade are fully moveable to light up your art or use as a reading lamp. The stylish clean Regency lines in brass suit my style of furniture and art well. H.160cm D.45cm
A stunning French Retro crystal ball chandelier. Looking forward to staying back one evening soon to photograph at night, will look amazing. H 80cm Dia 34cm

Restoring/altering the look of an already reproduction card table. Charlie & Jack did all the preparation months ago. Stripped the thick sticky red/brown lacquer, removed the same applied felt and prepared for (Graeme Davidson, Woodshed Antiques) to re felt. Graeme also replaces leather tops. After hand sanding clean, the boys applied two undercoats, then cut back and sprayed with white paint. For some reason, after many applications the paint never took. So they cut back and hand painted. Blackened the lion paws that Graeme matched with black felt. So from a very daggy unwanted side table, to now a quite stylish modern side/card table.
Recent restoration of a customers paint damaged cherrywood coffee table. Sadly his son spray painted an object on the top, not realising the consequences to the finish or his bank account! Table restored, including all chipped paint. So happy customers.
