    Walking down Sydney Road Brunnie, Franco Cozzo is being relaunched. Is there a market for that stuff?

      hey, I love my vintage 1980s franco cozzo furniture

      it’s solid maple , lots of hand carving, no gilding , it’s tuscan style I think

      but it’s expensive, even second hand it’s expensive

      that cream and gilt stuff in the window of the shop is traditional venetian style, which would look lovely in a house in Venice

      apparently they are bringing in modern Milan styles too

      Apparently he wanted the business to keep selling Italian Baroque… but I only see people these days buying that ironically. Hopefully some modern Italian design in the mix.

        @Pilk
        I could understand buying it ironically, but probably not at the prices they’re charging. All that fake marble and gold leaf ain’t cheap.
        The stock in store looked original. I don’t think inventory control was his strong suit, I think there’s a lot of it left.
