While we embrace all things good and wintery: roaring fires; hearty soups; fine red wine and curling up with a good book, winter is also a great time to dedicate to finding unique and beautiful objects for the home. The Country Trader has once again out done itself with the spoils of several European and South American sprees now safely arrived and delivered to the showroom. The wrought iron gates are absolutely magnificent! As are the globes many will remember from their childhood.  The LED. Next range, available exclusively to Koda lighting has picked up two awards at the Australian International Design Awards and Exhibit are basking in their own reflection thanks to a new shipment of the most exquisite mirrors imaginable. And for those who have suddenly found their digs a little chilly, De Poortere now have the very beautiful, very soft, exceptionally cosy and very durable Cavalier Bremworth collection of carpets made from New Zealand’s finest wool.

Party of the Week. Gold Dinner at the Country Trader. By Amy Cooper
We were directed to Waterloo and into the Pyd building, home of the massive antique treasure house The Country Trader, where the wealthy and elite were being filtered through several entrances into what looked like the ancestral chateau of a decadent, slightly mad but generous aristocrat. Chandeliers festooned the ceiling and guests were arranged at various antique dining tables and on ancient chairs (mine had a price tag on it that made me flinch). The Country Trader owner, Geoffrey Clark, had brought out the best china, a 200-year-old Limoges dinner service, and on it were suitable delicacies: black-truffle risotto and lobster, scallop and snapper pie. It was the sort of lavish atmosphere designed to inspire matching donations.
