Antiques and Art – Collectors Considerations
Carolyn McDowell – The Culture Concept Circle
Jamie Allpress of Allpress Antiques in Melbourne specializes in antique dressers.
He mostly sells them without their shelving units, because that’s what most people want.
“A ‘marriage’ should always be pointed out. i.e. where two pieces of the similar period and style have been put together to produce a more salable item”.

In Defence of Clutter – Australian Period Home Style Article
Written by Henry Buckenham (Allpress Inc).
Apologies for your misspelt surname in the Article Henry!
Excerpt: We live in a world where clarity, sterility and purpose are the defining features of interior design. Forensic suits and cotton booties have replaced the tradition of shoes off at the door. Clutter has become an ugly word, but when did an appreciation of things become an offence against principles of design?

The main objective was to photograph the dining room containing the John Weinman 1736 prints that I had supplied. I had also supplied the Blackwells 1730 and the Muntings 1696 up the stair well and flowing through to the guest bathroom.
In 2009, a customer was selling their home in Elwood and asked me to dress it up for the viewing. It was an interesting Art Deco home on the canal.
The process was quite simple, I removed ninety percent of their furniture and items, retaining their sofas. The carpet was removed, the floors polished and the walls were repainted. Then I looked over the property to decide on the best pieces of stock to dress their home. One good truck load and few strong men and everything was in place.
The agents loved it and the house was sold successfully.
This is one of the services I provide.
