Where the river bank widens you'll find this place, where a feel for the past reigns and antiques are given a context as well as a price tag.

Here, in the grand old building that started life as a bank in 1906 and then was the local hospital mid-century, you'll find a treasure trove of furniture, glass and ceramics, framed prints and silverware.

The rabbit-warren of rooms is used to display furniture and objets in their domestic context, giving the hunt for something special an added frisson. The walls here seem to have as many stories as the pieces themselves.

Owners Shane and Jane Johnson are happy to ship locally and interstate, and bring regular shipments of finds back from their own European antique explorations.
