The Woodshed Antiques Graeme has traded in antiques for over 35 years with shops in both Armidale, NSW and Ballarat, Victoria and presently operates by appointment from his workshop in Ballarat. Graeme also exhibits at most city and regional antique fairs throughout Australia displaying a variety of furniture ranging from Australian Colonial, English Georgian, Regency and Victorian periods. Through the workshop Graeme also offers a restoration service specialising in leather desk replacement with not just the traditional leather but also a hand coloured leather which gives the aged and worn look that is appropriate for period antique furniture.
