THE HISTORY Mid Century Furniture and Contemporary Art

A big thanks to Rex and Mary for finding me a great Mogensen piece.We found the whole experience to be very easy and Rex was more than accommodating.Thanks for having such a great range of European and Scandinavian MCM furniture.

Prompt service and excellent product quality. A fair price for elegant and timeless furniture. It’s obvious Rex is an experienced and passionate vendor.

The History has pieces from the affordable to the aspirational. Unique pieces in excellent condition from a range of sources from Scandinavia to Italy. Restoration to all pieces is top notch and Rex and Mary knowledgeable and discerning about what they sell. We've bought two significant pieces from The History and are delighted by both.

Just purchased a lovely pair of Kroken chairs from THE HISTORY. Its a wonderful collection and Rex delivered the chairs the next day. Very helpful, friendly service, and great quality well curated furniture.

I am such a fan of The History! Not only is the collection on offer expertly curated and beautifully presented, Rex and Mary are extremely knowledgeable about both the exquisite art and stunning furniture.In addition, they have both gone out of their way to ensure that the pieces I chose would work in the space and made fabulous suggestions. Rex has clearly had long experience in interiors. I understand that he has also created beautiful spaces from scratch for some lucky clients.Not only that, but he has restored and re-upholstered a pair of chairs that had great sentimental value but had been totally destroyed by our boisterous puppies. They look better than before!In an era where customer service seems to be a thing of the past, Rex and Mary never fail to go above and beyond. My purchases have been hand-delivered (even on a Sunday night!), and the art even hung for me!The History is the first place I would go for interesting, high-quality pieces at extremely reasonable prices. I tell all my friends about it and wholeheartedly recommend it – five stars!

Love my two Kroken chairs, thanks Rex. Rex is great and extremely helpful -and I appreciated next day (Sunday) delivery on his day off. Will definitely go back at some point for some complementary pieces. Highly recommend The History for mid-century furniture.

Amazing and beautiful furniture, perfect restoration job.Over the years, my partner and I have bought several chairs and a sofa from Rex and his lovely partner Mary. The furniture was beautiful, very good condition for it's age and we found Rex and Mary both to be lovely and helpful. We are a young couple and felt really comfortable during the whole experience (they aren't at all intimidating or snobby even though they sell beautiful things!).We brought in one of our chairs yesterday as we had ripped it when we were moving house. Rex did a beautiful job restoring the leather and gave it a lovely treatment for us. His workmanship is amazing - the chair is in beautiful condition and we are really lucky!

I found the perfect sofa here and the service and advice was excellent. Not only was I impressed that Rex and Thomas were working on a 48 degree day when most stores had taken the day off (before a public holiday), when they personally delivered it a couple of days later, they helped me move around other furniture to best suit the new piece. I am still telling all my friends and family about their assistance, and am pleased to rate 5 stars on Google as well. :)

Very happy customer of The History. It is a beautiful shop! Rex generously loaned us a piece and then sourced us a companion piece which we are also very happy with. We really appreciated the quality of our chairs (we ended up getting three!) and found The History significantly better quality and more reasonably priced than other Mid-Century shops Northside. If you appreciate genuine pieces in great condition, go here!

We found the sofa of our dreams at The History. Rex and Mary have a lovely space and we were not hurried along at all as we made our decision. We had looked at sofas at a number of similar stores and the quality at The History was a stand out. Each piece obviously gets loads of love and attention before they are up for sale.We get so many comments from friends on what a beautiful piece of furniture we have. 10/10 for fine furniture. 10/10 for a lovely retail space and 100/10 for customer service. Thank you Rex and Mary.
