Description
Between them both they assisted my business by referring me to their customers to restore their furniture purchased at auction.
The shop I’m still in 32 years later, I opened three doors from Fiske Antique Galleries, Geoff’s shop.
Geoff Recommended I move from the suburbs into a larger workshop also having a shop to trade from.
Made great sense, as the rent was $50 more per week than the house I rented with my then newly wed first wife.
Geoff taught me a lot about exotic timbers and the correct terminologies to describe.
Also ceramics and objet d art.
Especially the complete meaning of the term Circa.
John Ainger gave the most suited eulogy for Geoff. John’s a true gentleman, as was Geoff.
Was also nice seeing associates I haven’t seen in a long time.
Rest In Peace Geoffery Fiske
& thank you for your friendship and support ✨
