Your home is more than a place—it's a reflection of who you are. For nearly 50 years, we've curated timeless furniture, fixtures and design essentials that bring character, craftsmanship and considered style to Australian homes. The Schots story began in 1978, when Neville and Heather opened The Antique Garden—a small shop in Moonee Ponds where they sold potted plants and lovingly restored second-hand furniture in their makeshift back-room workshop.
Days were long but rewarding as they sourced promising pieces from Melbourne's auction houses, carefully refurbishing each one before it found its way to the shopfront. What started as a passion for bringing beautiful, forgotten pieces back to life quickly captured the hearts of customers who appreciated authentic craftsmanship and timeless design.
