It’s Exhibition Time!
It has been many years since there was an event at Moorabool Antiques – or since Moorabool did an Antique Fair….. they kept on being cancelled!
Now the time has come – and as they say, it never rains – it pours!
At Moorabool, we have a deluge of lovely pieces to offer.
We’re busily preparing over 300 exciting Fresh items for release in our 2022 Exhibition.
These items will become visible online as they are photographed & posted to moorabool.com over the next few days.
You will find some superb top-end pieces of Bow and Worcester porcelain from several local collections, a selection of early English teawares, and some stunning fine painting on large urns: a Paris Porcelain urn is painted with Dianna the Huntress, and the largest Derby Campana urn you are ever likely to see is painted by none other than Thomas Steele himself….
Rare Welsh porcelain includes multiple pieces of Nantgarw – the finest porcelain ever made, according to some – and Swansea.
Included in the Welsh are a series of Botanical studies, plant specimens taken from the ‘Curtis Botanical Magazine’ publications. This long running magazine was the go-to source for inspiration in the early 19th century, and we have examples from Nantgarw, Swansea, Davenport, Coalport, and Spode.
From the Continent, we have several lovely pieces of Meissen, and a very rare Chinoiserie piece of Du Paquier – the origin of the Vienna factory, the second porcelain manufacturer in Europe, made during their first five years of production.
And so much more! If you love ceramics, this exhibition is for you.
Note: no Chinese / Asian in this part of our Exhibition, but we have a stunning collection to be released in the very near future….
