But I’m retiring in my own time.
I’m in no hurry, so probably about one year or so, as I have so much stock stored away to sell…
Reasons for retiring:
1. Premier and his $@&+% mates👎🏽.
Was going to retire a little later, he’s pushed things forward.
2. 31 years in business and 44 years in the trade!
It’s time to change and have a second life.
Most probably in Europe for two thirds year and Melbourne the rest.
So long as what’s his face is gone!
3. European history and architecture.
I can’t wait to see every inch of every country. Holidays have never been long enough.
4. Kids out of school, No more private school fees!! and I’m single! Yay!!!
So this is not a RUG SHOP closing down SALE, it’s a genuine retirement sale.
Pieces discounted between 20% – 50%
My stock is selling very quickly, so if you like something, come in.
I may keep this shop, even when overseas? There’s many other things I can do here…
Perfect location for anything unique and interesting.
I have many ideas…
Have a good look through my website and regular Instagram posts.

I purchased this dresser some time ago, and only just spent the time removing the later dark polish,
probably added in the Victorian period.
Many hours slowly removing the polish, revealing the beautiful lighter wax finish. Well worth every minute!
Over thirty years of trading and forty years in the antiques trade,I have never stocked a dresser with silhouette legs.
Even more unusual is that I now own two! Both from the same retiring English dealer that I purchased one dozen from.
Actually, my largest single purchase in my thirty years of business.
Notice the outstanding five framed Redouté citrus fruits, hand-coloured copper engravings.
Pierre-Joseph Redouté 1759 – 1840 above, 19th century English pewter charger displaying Buddha’s Hands, pewter mugs,

Italian Murano glass sculptured shaped bowl.
Resting below is a 17th century Bronze cauldron.
The framed Redouté’s hung in my home for the past 20 years.
