Where Did They Go?
Discover a collection of antiques and vintage treasures that have found new homes through Marple Antiques. Revisit their stories and explore their original listings.
Every Antique and Vintage Treasure Begins a New Chapter
When an antique or vintage treasure leaves Marple Antiques, its journey doesn't end—it simply begins another chapter.
Some remain close to home, while others travel across Australia and around the world. They find their place in family homes, private collections and carefully considered interiors, where they continue to be admired, enjoyed and cared for.
Where Did They Go? follows some of the pieces that have passed through Marple Antiques and reveals where their journeys have taken them. From a sterling silver spoon returning to Ireland to a Shelley trio crossing the Pacific to the United States, each destination becomes another small part of the object's continuing history.
Each title below links to its original Marple Antiques listing, where you can revisit the photographs and discover more about the craftsmanship, history and character of the piece.
As more treasures find new custodians, this collection will continue to change. New departures will be added and earlier journeys will remain part of the story of Marple Antiques.
Although these particular pieces are no longer available, there is always something new waiting to be discovered. We invite you to explore the current Marple Antiques collection and perhaps find a treasure whose next destination will be your home.
