Live Stock Viewing via Internet (12 Aug 2011)

If you can't make it into the shop, we can offer live video inspections of our antiques using Skype video during our business hours. You will need to have Skype installed on your computer, smartphone or tablet. Please ring or email first to make a time - when we are not busy with clients in the shop. You can ask questions as you view the piece or pieces.

We send many pieces of furniture to all states of Australia and overseas. Our aim is to make things a bit more personal for those of you who prefer to inspect in person.  

We use very experienced carriers for all our interstate and intrastate deliveries. 

Our business hours are listed on both the About Us page and the Contact Us page.
