Dated pieces are always of particular interest, as they give us a reference point for dating other similar pieces. There’s another dated piece released today, an English Oak cupboard dated 1655. They are rare, and to have these significant pieces in stock is a great pleasure.

A new Spin on Antiques…

We’ve been busily working on a terrific new way of viewing our stock on Moorabool.com. You may have already noticed our photos are larger than before, and you can explore the pieces in greater detail by zooming in. While that’s a help, we have something even better to offer: Spins!

Spin Sample
Spin me – mouse or finger, both work well! And don’t forget you can zoom in….

As you’ll notice above, we can now take images from all sides and create a ‘spin’! This is perfect for turning something around to see the other side…. and you can zoom in also! The 18th century English enamel salt cellar above needs to be seen from every angle – and this new technique is perfect to show what it’s like in reality.

It does take a little time to set up, so we are doing fresh pieces and some older pieces, with more being added constantly.

If you just want to take a few pieces ‘for a spin’ – follow this link to the Tag ‘360’ – every item that has been done will appear in this gallery.

Have fun spinning!

Antiquities…. Fresh @ Moorabool.com


November 24th, 2021.

Welcome to our ‘Fresh Stock’ update – these items are fresh to our stock , and fresh to this website.

Today it’s a selection of Antiquities, mostly from a fascinating collection recently acquired in Melbourne, Australia. Most had old auction numbers & labels, suggesting it was put together last century, judging by the deterioration of the stickers and the typewritten labels. The last owner had the revered name ‘Rothschild’ – but it’s not that Rothschild Collection!

The figure of ‘Astarte’ is particularly interesting, with a provenance of the great ancient city of Tyre.
The other pots shown above include Canannite pieces 3,500 years old, and an amazing early Israelite piece from the 9th century BC.

There’s also a selection of tiny little Ancient Egyptian amulets, mounted to make them display nicely.

Enjoy!
