Furniture investments for the future

A 1950's sofa, an Art Deco armchair or piece of 1970's Retro.... all of these have doubled in value over the last five years. A good quality piece of furniture would even have tripled. Clever buying now is certainly money in the bank.

The imported pieces that we have recently brought in from the USA are even more collectable.

Magnificent Murano Glass

Murano glass is a famous product of the Venetian island of Murano. Located off the shore of Venice, Italy, Murano has been a commercial port as far back as the 7th century.

The process of making Murano glass is rather complex. Most Murano glass art is made using the lampworking technique. The glass is made from silica, which becomes liquid at high temperatures. As the glass passes from a liquid to a solid state, there is an interval wherein the glass is soft before it hardens completely, allowing the artisan to shape the material.

We have various original pieces available in different shapes, sizes and colours. Contact Toni on 073 907 4418 for further information.
