We purchase ALL our stock personally during regular buying trips to China. We strive for originality and prefer to buy unrestored items rather than 'molested' or remanufactured antiques.

We photograph all purchases in situ prior to the items being trucked to our restorer's facility, where we meet at the end of the trip to discuss the restoration that we require prior to packing and shipping.

Some items are shipped in 'as found' state if we deem it ideal for the Australian retail market.

We do buy some reproduction pieces and also have some decorator items manufactured to our own designs.

Most of the photos on this site were taken when and where we purchased the item.

We love the eclectic country pieces - rice measures, farm implements, stools, dentists' stools, benches, ships' wheels, fishermen's floats, pottery wine jars, baskets, wedding baskets, tea caddies, children's carts and seats, hip baths, scales.
