Until Sunday, it’s a bargain hunter’s paradise at Isabella Walker-Smith’s bumper Christmas Collection which has stacks of table lamps in the style of Christian Liaigre, Kelly Wearstler, Ralph Lauren, and Aerin, from $80.
There are quality travertine lamps, $280 a pair, and adorable rattan lamps with bamboo bases, $140 a pair. Many are detailed to fab effect.
There is assorted antique furniture, ex-Martyn Cook, The Country Trader and Parterre Australia, from delightful French side tables, nineteenth-century commodes, chunky timber chairs, striking gilt mirrors, farmhouse tables, and wrought iron garden furniture for a lot less than usual.
Also, quality soft furnishings (the most comfortable sofa, armchair, bedhead and valance) by Bill O’hehir who has worked for generations of Australia’s oldest families. Covered in high-end Pierre Frey Fadini-Borghi Italian linen, each of which cost thousands in fabric alone, from $100.
Even if you don’t need anything this collection will help train your eye to recognise good decorating. Browse here.
There are exceptional antique Persian rugs, from Ross Langland’s ex-The Nomadic Rug Traders, sourced from a landmark Sydney property, at incredibly affordable prices.
And, don’t miss mature succulents and plants potted in an array of pots and urns, to create your own instant garden in time for the holiday season that will make your neighbours green with envy.
Everything from the pretty, the useful, the clever, and the indispensable.
Something like a nineteenth-century French 12-seater 250cm oak dining table, $1200. Or a solid early 20th century farmhouse table from the French Alps, 160cm, $450.
Pieces to enjoy for years to come.
