Warm days are here... so expect 🐍... this Geelong Silver example dates to 1871, an example of local colonial silversmith #EdwardFischer at his absolute best.... it was presented to T.J. Everist, building surveyor for the City Of #Melbourne 1850-72, on occasion of his retirement. What changes he would have seen as the quite frontier township of 1850 exploded into the boom of the #Goldrush after 1851, new suburbs and big construction sites going up every week.... sounds just like Melbourne today! This will be the star piece in our 2018 Exhibition, opening November 18th in our upstairs gallery, Geelong. Many rare items, all will be posted & previewed on our website over the coming weeks. #ColonialAntiqueS #Snake #BewareTheSnake #FischerSilver #AustralianSilver #Rare #RateSnake #SilverSnake #ColonialArt #GeelongHistory #MelbourneHistory #MelbourneArchitect #mooraboolantiques #moorabool_antiques #geelong #antiques #antiquesaustralia #aaada #antiqueshop #antiquedealersofinstagram #antiquesarecool #antique_interior #interiordesign #decorating #centralgeelong #VisitGeelong #VisitGeelongBellarine #AntiquesAreGreen #Moorabool2018Exhibition #EventsGeelong #17November2018 #GeelongAntiqueExhibition2018 (at Moorabool Antique Galleries) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo85WX2DwAG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pngt0o8g8oou
