    • Hi Neville, we don’t have any second hand hearths in stock , if you want a piece of black marble , you could try
      Stone Craft at Mile End , or Tillets monumental masons at Bowden and Brompton
      Assuming you live in Adelaide

  3. Hi, I am in Brisbane and we have some solid steel Entrance Driveway Gates 4.5m -4.7m wide.
    Would it be possible to see if any of your customers are seeking something like this ? And we could sell through you?

    • Hi Daniela, Sorry! we hardly ever look at the messages through WordPress. You’ve probably found some other way to move your gates by now…it sounds a bit complicated with us being so far apart too. Have you tried facebook marketplace or Gumtree?
      Kind regards,
      Sally

  4. Hello
    Do you have any internal decorative posts (2) with the dimensions (min) 120×120 and 2400 in length. They are required for a 1930’s home and are for installation between the entry and lounge room.

    Reply ↓

    • Hi Tim, Sorry! we hardly ever think to look at the messages through wordpress…I gather you are after something like timber pillars to frame the transition between rooms? There’s not anything internal like that at present in the shop. Maybe a woodturner / cabinet maker could create something? Tony Neighbour – Neighbour’s Workshop at Kensington SA is a very good cabiet maker.
      Good luck, Sally

  5. Hi, I’m looking for a decorative arched gate, if possible in the gothic style or Art Deco. Do you have anything like that?

    Reply ↓

    • Hi Rose, Sorry! we hardly ever think to look at the messages through wordpress…
      Also sorry that we don’t have any gates with arches at all at the moment. Keep an eye on the website as we’ll update them there and feel free to phone to check if there is anything coming in soon that we know of.
      Good luck with your search, Sally
