The Beauty of Decay







The beauty of things that are decaying seems to be an oxymoron but it isn’t really.
Flaws, wear and tear, and age are all ingredients for true character.
A sense of uniqueness. Of being special, one off...something to be honoured.
There is a repository of old wares, wonderful things of faded beauty,
all with their own history, their own unique tale to tell or fill your life or home with.

It is called Tarlo & Graham on Gertrude St, Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia.
If one picture is worth a thousand words, the pages above will speak for themselves.

“I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth.” Henry Miller
