Site Navigation

Catalogue

You can browse the antiques catalogue by using the navigation panel on the left of each page. The catalogue is organized into categories of antiques and includes the special categories of 'Latest Additions' and 'Sold Items'.

'Featured Antique' and 'Showcase'

The 'Featured Antique' and 'Showcase' are places where we highlight some exceptional and interesting pieces. While browsing the Catalogue, 'Featured Antique', 'Showcase' and 'Latest Additions' are always readily accessible via the 'mini-panels' on the right of the page.

Categories

When browsing an antiques Category, including Search results, several viewing options are available at the top and bottom of the page. You can sort the displayed items by different criteria, change the sort order, and change the number of items displayed per page. There are also links to navigate multiple pages.

Antique Items

Clicking any Antique Item thumbnail picture or label takes you to that item's page. Here you will find a detailed description of the item and a larger picture. In addition, there are usually more thumbnail pictures of different views of the item. Clicking one of these thumbnails will display a larger picture. Clicking on the large picture will display an even larger picture in a pop-up window. You can also view a 'printer friendly' version of the page.

News

The News panel can be found at the top of the right hand side of each page. Here you can find news of recent and upcoming additions to our inventory and other items of interest.

Below the Catalogue navigation panel is the Search function. You can perform a search of the catalogue using keywords. Advanced Search allows you to refine your search criteria.

RSS

What is RSS?

RSS is a web technology that enables you to be informed when the content of a website is updated. It is being used increasingly by sites which feature constantly updated content, such as news services.

Why is it useful?

It means that you don't have to constantly revisit sites you are interested in to check for updates. The information about updates to the site is delivered to you using RSS.

How does it work?

To use RSS, you'll need an RSS reader. The latest versions of Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer are RSS enabled. You can also use dedicated RSS reader software or an online reader. Some web 'portals' such as Google, My Yahoo or My MSN allow you to personalise your home page by adding RSS feeds.

An RSS 'feed' is basically a list of the latest headlines from a site that supports RSS. You 'subscribe' to the RSS feeds that interest you. Subscribing does not require giving an e-mail address or any personal information, it simply tells your RSS reader to retrieve that particular feed. You can 'unsubscribe' at any time.

On RSS enabled websites you will see a symbol which you click to subscribe to that site's feeds.

Your RSS reader will display a list of subscribed feeds, usually in the form of a headline and a brief description of the content. Clicking on the feed link will take you to the relevant page on the originating website.

To find out more about using the following readers, click the links:

• Firefox - Live Bookmarks
• Internet Explorer 7 - RSS feeds
• Google Reader
• My Yahoo!
