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.

Search

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.

Viewing History

You can use the Viewing History to easily retrace your steps in the current visit to the site.

Currency Converter

The Currency Converter is visible in the panel on the left of Catalogue pages. It can be used to change the currency displayed for item prices. The exchange rates used in the Currency Converter on this site are updated daily from the European Central Bank and are to be used as a guide only.

To enquire by email about a particular item, use the 'Enquire about this item' link on the Item page. To make a general enquiry by email, or for other contact details, click the Contact Us link in the navigation bar at the top of the page.

 

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 RSS 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.

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.
