We’ve just arrived home from a four week trip to the UK and France buying stock for a container which will arrive in September.

We set off for the airport at 11pm, the afternoon prior was spent sealing the deal on this amazing carved wooden panel by Robert Prenzel dated 1926.

Robert Prenzel was born in Prussia in 1866. After completing his apprenticeship he migrated to Australia, arriving in Melbourne in 1888.

We’ve always had an interest in Australian crafts and carvings so we’ll be keeping this piece for a while.
