Antiques Inventory
We are excited to be concentrating on this aspect of the one Rundle Interiors business.
Since the very beginning, at 1 Rundle St Kent Town in 2000, one Rundle has sourced intriguing antiques and one-off decorative pieces. We have travelled from China to Africa with many trips to London and Europe sourcing our Treasures.
There is also a rich hunting ground in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney if you know where to look.
We would love you to browse the latest collection of Treasures.
We are always delighted to have a chat about our special pieces and we love to source something special to complete a Client’s beautiful existing interior.
Please email josephine@onerundleinteriors.com.au if you would like to discuss a piece or make a purchase a product from the Josephine Finds collection.
