On the cusp of celebrating their 30th anniversary, The Country Trader, founded by Geoff Clark, has set the bar high for antiques shopping in Sydney, Australia. He stocks a wide range of styles, but French pieces are a particular specialty. The shop also offers prop rentals to film studios, so a number of items are sprinked with a dusting of Hollywood history, having been borrowed for films like Oscar & Lucinda, Moulin Rouge, and (collective sigh) The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
