This is an amazing store full to the brim with a huge variety of beautiful and curious things. I bought a beautiful, glass-fronted Huon pine bookcase from here recently and needed to take it back to Melbourne. The proprietor, Carl, was wonderful. He had a very workable solution for getting it into the back of my Honda HRV and it made the trip safely. I highly recommend this shop and Carl in particular to anyone who enjoys browsing and occasionally purchasing high quality antiques and collectibles.

Carl is quite knowledgeable and helpful. I loved the variety of light fixtures you can see at his shop and furnitures were also worth the trip. You will definitely find something that would interest you.

Helpful friendly and a deep knowledge in his field. Highly recommended.Broughton Heritage Consultancy

Awesome Packing! Mint condition. Very rare books in stock.Three books mailed were bubble wrapped, then sandwiched between two cardboard pieces and taped tight.They came in absolute mint condition, with not even the pages opened and the cover corners perfect..Nothing could have damaged them in transit.These are rare historical books, so they have a good range too.Thanks Carl.for your time and care packing them.

Such a great store!.Beautiful antique andvintage ranges . You will always find a precious treasure!!!.Carl has such great customer service!.

A unique and delightful treasure trove of interesting items, classic and one-of pieces to delight any curious mind, and a stellar collection of books, all well cared for, maintained, and presented. Carl is a genuinely welcoming, friendly, and generous soul who went out of his way to ensure I found the ideal piece I was searching for. First-rate and old-fashioned generosity, friendliness, and interest in customer's search and selves - a lovely little store run and manned by a lovely and interesting chap.A stunning table I bought there over 10-year-ago remains a favourite piece in my home and has stood the test of time and shared many meals over the years!Thanks Carl.
