Message from Seller:

Struck by the affliction in ’96 as a design graduate drawn to antiques that have truly lived, sometimes loved, but survived in some part to ‘tell the story’ or to be re-imagined and awakened once again. My North Star has always been my design principles of form, function, texture, balance, emphasis, proportion, and colour. For me, my eyes rest easily upon a well worn surface, the knocks, bruises, creases and scars, all part of our life story.
