BELLE EPOQUE ANTIQUES    


ABOUT US
Established in May 2005, Belle Epoque Antiques specialises in Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Edwardian and Federation furniture from 1880 to 1930.
The proprietor, Susan Capel, lovingly restores the items using traditional techniques. Unfortunately we do not offer restoration services but can provide advice and direction.

OUR STOCK
We source our stock from auction houses, deceased estates and private individuals. We are also in the process of importing hand picked Arts and Crafts furniture from Scotland. We do not stock reproduction furniture. If you have any items that you wish to sell, please email photographs and we will see if we can assist or offer advice.
In addition to our antique furniture, we sell a selection of Gilly Stephenson and Liberon furniture waxes, high quality replica handles, a great range of Erte gift cards and stationery, a small selection of Arts and Crafts books and Moorcroft and Tiffany cards.
This web page is updated regularly and all stock is available for sale unless noted "under restoration". Some pieces may be on "hold" for customers but we welcome enquiries in case a sale does not proceed.
We have a large range of stock but not all of the pieces are in the shop at Petersham. Many items are in storage at Leichhardt and can be viewed at a mutually convenient time. We suggest that you call beforehand to confirm the location of specific pieces.
If you have any questions about our furniture, please contact us by telephone or email.

DELIVERY AND PAYMENT
Customers can purchase by cash, credit card or on layby. Delivery is not included in the purchase price. If required, we can organise local, regional and interstate delivery with reputable carriers.
The cost of delivery in the Sydney metropolitan area starts from around $120, to regional NSW and Brisbane from $220, to Melbourne from $240 and to Adelaide from $300. Multiple purchases work out cheaper.
