Are u interested in this claw bath and how much do you think it’s worth
Hi Colin,
we do not trade in old baths , but you could try a company called ” Thermoglaze ‘ located in prospect, they buy and re finish old baths
Some of your items are beautifully restored and I love the vintage character it provides. I see you have some shutters and it gives me great ideas for the vaulted ceilings in my home. I will reference your site for new ideas in the future. Thanks for the visual tour.
Thanks Linda, it’s unlikely we’ll ever get photos of everything on the website but we do update regularly. Glad it can help with inspiration too.
best wishes, FT
I just pulled out your business card from a visit to your store in 1995. I was posted at Woomera then. I loved all the items you had then and still do. I shared your site with some relatives here in the US and hopefully they will find your stock as exquisite as I do. I look forward to another visit in the future.
Hi Steve,
Sorry I only just saw the message and yes, we’re still here! Glad you’ve enjoyed the shop, we still love doing this too.
Might see you in store someday though much of our business is through the website compared to 1995.
Best wishes,
Sally
