MARK ANSTEY- furniture maker, woodworker, boatbuilder

‘i have been making beautiful furniture since 1990.

i aim to create personal works of great meaning for my clients, and spend much energy in design.

when i make a drawer, i want it to operate ‘invisibly’ with little impact, not jamming, with the handle the right size for the drawer. i want my clients to look at the furniture after years of living with it, and feel as if it has become a valued part of them, and enhanced their life

i also delve in to interesting and good quality shop fitting, such as the local in st kilda and darlinghurst, and castlemaine fitouts including origini, the good table and the public inn

i will consider any request! anything is possible

i can be contacted through this the homepage, as lot19 is my vision…’
