The Spring 2025 issue is packed with interesting, in-depth, quirky and informative features on anything and everything to do with antiques, collectables, retro and vintage.
We look at the gorgeous girls of Art Nouveau, delve into the sweet history of sugar collectables and meet a collector potty for teapots. There’s a feature on the remarkable furniture of Betty Joel, we meet some monumental nanas (yes it’s true), take a look at the stirrup cup and learn the history of Sydney Harbour Bridge buttons. We’ve got piggy banks, Lladro porcelain, Australian bird prints (not a Gould in sight) and the original social media: the postcard. We play with some models of Dutch diecast, look at the work of Norman Wilson and offer a guide to cloisonne – as well as introducing you to the world of pocket globes.
Our Mid Century Modern section includes psychedelic money boxes, some Brazilian brilliance, the pottery of Gus and Betty McLaren, the revolutionary Tube chair (strange how it didn’t catch on…) and two kings: Harry Winston, King of Diamonds and Vladimir Tretchikoff, King of Kitsch. Plus we look at why men are loving vintage Armani, the rise of collectable punk, Galliano’s newspaper print dress and the glamour of vintage hair accessories (Brigitte Bardot, we’re looking at you).
Treat yourself and shop your way through 17 pages of Paraphernalia crammed full of more than 350 gorgeous items to buy! Plus we’ve included all the regular features such as Under the Hammer, Snippets, Bits and Pieces, Movers and Shakers, Curios, Secret Sources and plenty more. A bumper 120 full colour glossy pages will give you plenty of reading for cool autumn afternoons.
