<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dmckillican, post: 9430230, member: 81108&quot;]Good morning all!</p><p><br /></p><p>Long story, but I&#039;m in Australia and whilst I definitely have an appreciation for antiques, I&#039;m not a huge fan of having them around for daily living (impractical generally).</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought an older house in 2015 and the previous owner left one item of furniture. An old, very large 3 section wardrobe with draws, a large mirror and some rather basic but charmer early Australian carvings (Think Kookaburras, sun, native plants).</p><p><br /></p><p>The wardrobe is large and as I&#039;ve been renovating the house, I&#039;ve simply left the wardrobe undisturbed until now. I have considered a few options - firewood? White wash it and hope it finds a place? or dispose of it. Having taken a closer look, it became clearer that it was old and of good quality/condition. My instincts stopped me doing anything to the wardrobe - and having looked at the craftsmanship involved, it felt wrong to make any changes.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here I am - wondering - what do I do with it - surly a nice item like this belongs with someone who can truely appreciate it... where do I start?</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a sticker in the back of the inside with the carpenters name and address. The maker was R. T. Carter of 404 George Street, Sydney. I found out more about him as he has an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, and he seems to be well regarded in Australia. However, I don&#039;t know what to do next?</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any suggestions?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]435423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]435424[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]435425[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]435426[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
