John began dealing at a young age in 1958 (very young!), and joined the Antique Dealers Association of Victoria in 1959 (now the Australian Art & Antique Dealers Association) . Since then, he has exhibited in every Association or Association endorsed fair.
His wife Lorraine joined the business after marrying John, and together they accumulated a lifetimes experience. Her particular love was the earliest French and German porcelain, and as an expert in the field, she often lectured and wrote for magazines. She sadly passed away in 2004 after a short illness.

Their son Paul...... well, he just didn't stand a chance!
-He had his first auction at just 3 weeks........ and has been dragged through every dusty antique shop and to endless auctions ever since.
After completing school, Paul studied Art History and Archaeology at La Trobe University. He then spent two years roaming the globe, buying the unusual and unique and shipping it back home.
Eventually settling in London, the world center of the Antiques trade, he was able to learn the trade from the ground up. While there, he also participated in the 1996/97 Christies Education course, earning a Diploma in the Fine and Decorative Arts from the Royal Society of the Arts. (For better or for worse, this makes him a Dip. RSA.) He is now married, to Glenys, and has a young family - the next generation of Antique Dealers coming on!

Lindsay Wilson is an integral part of the business, joining in 1984 and becoming an essential ingredient. His knowledge comes from a lifetimes experience of living in the past - just ask him any question about Victorian table etiquette and be prepared to be amazed!
