Photos inside my apartment taken by Russell Winnell February 2023 part two.

Photos inside my apartment taken by Russell Winnell February 2023 part two.

I’d written a story re moving onto an apartment, and how I advise people several times per week on doing so, but when was my turn, was so painful!

By the time the magazine was ready, I’d already changed three vital parts of my displays, so gave them an old story to print!

Still changing occasionally, but I’ll have Russell over soon to re take those few spots, so I can finally share with a magazine.

These are the upright shots, I’ll post the horizontal ones next..

BTW, when I close shop soon, my trading name will mainly be @allpress_creations as my writing and other business ideas and my services will be changing.

Rare 18th Century oak wine table – Isle of Man

Rare 18th Century oak wine table – Isle of Man

The well patinated circular top supported by a beautifully turned column, raised on three down swept cabriole legs terminating in boot feet.
The shaped legs resembling the Isle of Man flag.

The flag features three running legs bent at the knees conjoined at the centre.
Local residents of the Isle of Man explain that the legs turn anti-clockwise so that they don’t kneel to the English.
The use of the emblem on the flag in the Isle of Man dates back to the 13th Century.

After much deliberation, I’ve decided to sell a few very special pieces I’ve had at home the past 20 or more years.

This magnificent wine table is one. I simply cannot house everything I’d like to.

A late 19th Century French flame mahogany card table - AA1936

A late 19th Century French flame mahogany card table – AA1936

A late 19th Century French flame mahogany card table.

The single flame moulded top, unfolding to a card playing table, having a decorative book-matched veneered frieze, on a well turned support column, resting on three outswept legs, with acanthus leaf carvings to the knees.

Note: Not my usual stock, you’ll notice the photograph. You’ll then notice this card table surrounded by entire family, from around 1900.

Fantastic to hang above to create a perfect conversation piece.

Forever changing the surroundings in my apartment.

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.

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.

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
