Happily selling this screen on consignment for a customer I’ve worked with over the past few years. So No GST! Beautifully carved precious stones, including Jade, Ivory, and marble. H. 183cm W. 164cm The right screen on a wall can look better than a lot of terribly expensive contemporary art. Far more unique and individual. Would look amazing hanging spotlighted, take a look on my website, type “Chinese screen” to see the last four panel screen I sold, posted under media, looks outstanding when hung well. I have a professional picture hanger to recommend if you need one.
SOLD the first positioned English oak low dresser within hours of display set.
So yay!
While I’m here until my final departure from retail over the next year or less, I’ll enjoy creating displays and selling the main item or at times the entire display.
Something I’ve worked on a lot over the years. Create the look and it sells itself ✨
I’m about to frame the majority of these rare 19th century hand coloured palm family botanicals.
Unusual late 19th century lithographs dedicated to the palm family.
My friend Mali Moir produced these masterpieces in 2017 and had The Metro Gallery representing her.
I was at the opening with a few close friends, was a great evening.
Prior to the opening I had been in re dressing Dee and Peter’s beautiful homes walls. I had the pleasure seeing Mali create these in her home, so when I saw their wall space, I already knew which two would be perfect, so SOLD!
The Botanical Magazine; or Flower-Garden Displayed, is an illustrated publication which began in 1787.
The longest running botanical magazine, it is widely referred to by the subsequent name Curtis’s Botanical Magazine.
Each of the issues contains a description, in formal yet accessible language, and is renowned for featuring the work of two centuries of botanical illustrators
Many plants received their first publication on the pages, and the description given was enhanced by the keenly detailed illustrations.
Sold this beautiful vintage/retro pastel nude of a reclining woman. I hadn’t posted before, too much to do sometimes.
I really love this painting. Great focus on her beauty and form, with perfect highlights and shading. Also the slightly damaged frame and mount.
I’ve sold dozens of nudes over the decades. Surprisingly the majority to women. I understand as the shape of a woman is one of the most beautiful sights in our amazing world.
I’ve also sold a few male nudes, one to a woman, the others to men.

Remembering our ANZACS, for the sacrifices of those who have died and been injured in conflict, should not be forgotten and that their service should be honored and remembered.
We live in a blessed country, full of opportunity to anyone willing to give it a good crack! Thanks to those soldiers that lay their lives down for us, so we could all have good, safe lives, with every opportunity, compared to many other countries around the world…
As I did moving here with absolutely nothing, aged 17 to start a new life, created four beautiful children, built a successful business and have had a great life, even better now after all these years 🙏
Continually adding pieces from my private collection to my shop stock and noticing how fast they sell. Many of my customers share my taste✨
The wonderful Green Majolica plate I took from my cupboard at home (not easy) was like it was glued to my shelf!
Included in my display and sold. I remember driving back from selling customers perfect pieces for their home in Carramut, Western District, parked outside a dealer’s closed shop, rang him and waited while he drove to his shop to sell to me. I’ve so loved this piece.
Having a half price 50% off sale helped I’m sure.
The Joy Peck painting also sold while I was taking these photos (touches of green)
And the Portuguese Cabbage Ware Tureen with ladle and under plate sold too.
