Rare Lenehan Cedar Dining Table. (02 Jul 2010)

We have recently added a rare Andrew Lenehan Extension Dining Table made between 1855 & 1857 to our collection of Australian antiques.

We believe you will find more 19th Century Australian furniture which is all genuinely for sale here at The Merchant of Welby, than you will see anywhere else in Australia! If there is another store carrying as large a quantity of Aussie antiques, we certainly have not heard about it!

more Australian Antiques arriving soon (12 Dec 2009)

We are pleased to announce that we have a number of very good quality Colonial Australian Antiques coming in soon. We also have some from the latter half of the 19th century. We have some wonderful colonial cedar wardrobes, a cedar secretaire, a colonial cedar work table, another cedar extension dining table, a mid 19th century cedar library table and a very good cedar armchair all arriving within the next month or so. Keep an eye on the website for pictures.

Some of the other good pieces coming in, include a rare narrow australian cedar bookcase, a very good quality large Victorian mahogany 10 drawer Wellington chest and an interesting Arts & Crafts cedar hallseat.
