- Sterling Silver - Sterling silver is a mixture of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of another metal, usually copper. Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver, and is relatively soft and the addition of the very small amount of copper gives the metal enough strength and hardness to be worked into jewellery, decorative and household objects.
- Paul Kafka (1907 - 72) -
Paul Kafka Exclusive Furniture Pty Ltd. of Sydney. Paul Kafka was one of the most significant furniture makers working in Sydney in the immediate post war period. Born in Vienna, Kafka worked in his father's furniture factory later studying furniture design at the Academy of Arts in Vienna. This training and early practice in Vienna in the 1920s and 30s is reflected in references to the Art Deco style which continued to inform his work during the 1950s
