Vintage Street Scene Shade

OK, so we’re going to get straight to the point here.

Dating, we think, from the 50’s – this is the best barkcloth Bob has ever seen. The best.

And there’s hardly any of it so it’s not here for long.

That street scene just goes all the way around the lamp, it’s really something.

Measuring 25cm wide and 41cm this is probably the only one we’ll be putting online.

The price does not include the base but it does include freight within Australia. Pick up is available from our Sydney studio – please contact us for details.

And sorry, this one’s not available for international or wholesale (we really are but there’s only one!)

Vintage Tapa Print Shade



We’ve covered this shade in this oh so fab piece of 60’s Tapa print barkcloth and think it’s pretty much it!


Measuring 35cm wide and 40cm tall it will be sure to match that retro base you’ve been meaning to upgrade.


As with all vintage fabrics this one is very limited in supply (maybe 2 only?) so once it’s gone…


Sorry, the price does not include the shown base but it does include freight within Australia. Please contact us for international of wholesale enquiries.


And if you’re in Sydney pick up is available directly from our studio. Again, please contact us for details and an amended price.

Vintage Tea Towel Cushions

Spared from the thankless fate of drying dishes or forgotten in the linen press, we’ve rescued these reminders of our tasteful past and presented them in all their glory as cushions. Whether you regard them as high kitsch or appreciate them as colourful representations of how we wanted  to present our country to world, we’re mad for them and feel they add an element of fun and whimsy to any decor.

All are ‘one of’ and in limited availability. As such, cushions pictured below are only a representation of the hundreds of items on hand.

We don’t take orders on line for these – just requests.  Email Bob with your choice or a wish list and we’ll find the perfect one for you!

All are vintage and presented in a simple 40 or 45 cm,  zip closure cushion.

40 cm $50.00 or 45 cm $60.00 (price is for cover only and freight within Australia).
