new arrival

We have just received a delivery of these beautiful stone and resin crosses.....they are now available at Montreux. We are happy to post Australia wide.

long time between drinks....

Yes, it's been a long time between drinks (posts) and thank you to all who have reminded me of this!! I can promise you I haven't been sitting around idol, rather I have been busy sourcing.

Our newest additions at Trove are these beautiful chairs: a Louis XV painted fauteuil; a Louis XV style painted settee; a french style gilted carver; and last but not least, a Louis XV style wing back bergere.

If this is not enough to get excited about, we have also recently received at Montreux a supply of Turkish silk velvet cushions in the most beautiful of colours.

I hope my iPhone photos do the chairs and cushions justice!   

truckload of stools

how adorable are these little stools (so adorable I bought a truckload).....deserving of our window display at Trove!

high street, prahran

As many of you know, Montreux moved to High Street, Prahran, a little over three years ago and I really couldn't think of a better location. So much so, we decided to open our sister store Trove, just a few doors down.

We are delighted to have both Montreux and Trove featured in this months (June edition) of Home Beautiful.

Thank you to Anna McCooe and Sue Stubbs.  We too think High Street Prahran is a must-visit precinct!

stoneware bottles

It is no secret that I love old stoneware bottles. We have sold so many over the years and have always had a few tucked away for styling and for stylists to hire.

These bottles come in varying shapes and sizes and in all shades of white through to beige look beautiful individually or as a collection.

Just when I thought we were down to our last few, I have been fortunate enough to come across a large collection which we now have available for sale at Trove.

porcelain collection

We are very excited to have received our first delivery of beautiful porcelain bowls designed by Belgian sculptress Dominique Mosseray.

Domonique is a design artist who moves between sandstone and porcelain and has put together a porcelain collection, the ultimate expression of her passion for exceptional shapes, her artistic feel and her preference for 'pièces uniques'.

The collection is exquisite and is best explained as an organic mix of design and user friendliness (ok for both the microwave and the dishwasher !!)

We have almost sold out of our first delivery of these bowls and are awaiting another delivery later this week. Platters will also be available in the not too distant future.

We hope you love the range as much as we do.....

he who hesitates...

These fabulous french cafe chairs arrived last Friday at Trove and have now all been sold!  (They didn't even last the week.) They looked so nice sitting out the front of the shop!
