24.01.2022 Hi everyone! Excited to announce that we have teamed up with 2 very talented local artists for this year, and we will be having an exhibition on the last Saturday of September !! There will be free food and drinks, and lots of pretty things to look at! Starting at 4pm, you'll have the opportunity to get your hands on some gorgeous, one-of pieces and have a good night out with friends! Please save the date and share.

24.01.2022 Happy International Women's Day you gorgeous girls of the world! Xx Ladies, you have been causing wars since the beginning of time, as is depicted on this fragment of a 17th century painting by Willem Duyster (1599-1635) called "Soldiers Fighting over Booty in a Barn" (not kidding, look it up ). Clearly, we are as precious as diamonds and gold, if men are prepared to fight over us. So Happy IWD girls!! We are valuable creatures that the earth wouldnt turn without. Xx Enjoy today!! #iwd #internationalwomensday #women #painting #seventeenthcenturyart #17thcentury #17thcenturyart #17thcenturyfashion #girlsrule #fashion #juliab #brisbanedressmaker #brisbane #welovewomen #8thofmarch #8thofmarch2016 #internationalwomensday2016

22.01.2022 Got a burning question about an antique? Fire away! We are here from the early hours of the morning, right through to the deep hours of the night, and are more than happy to help out however we can! :D Just send us a message, drop us a post to our page, OR give us a call on: 33935350 Bye for now!

22.01.2022 This 1950's costume jewellery brooch was brought in with 2 detached petals after a failed attempt at repairing the piece had taken place. :/ After a close examination we discovered a number of MICRO-CRACKS at the centre, where the petals join. This led to an intense Micro-Welding operation that saved the customer from losing any more petals in the future! Saved a flowers life.. Mission accomplished. :D

22.01.2022 Heya boys and girls! :D Heres' an update of our January holiday trading hours.

19.01.2022 100+ year old Canary was brought in to us to have re-sealed and framed. What a gorgeouse little character! I must say i am a little glad to have him out of the shop.. He kept giving me looks..... LOOK AT HIS FACE! >.> :/ :P Hope you like these Before and Afters!!! Xx

19.01.2022 Hey everyone!

Xx <3

19.01.2022 This 1932 Boxing Trophy was restored and highly polished. The customer wanted to keep the old antique feel about it that made it look its age, so we decided to skip the silver plating and leave the yellow patches of base metal sticking out. And with the final touch of Powder Coating, this beautiful piece of Boxing history will never tarnish again. :) A pretty cool item for the display shelf in my opinion.. :P

17.01.2022 This gorgeous specimen was brought in to us looking a bit tiered, but BOY! Does she look fantastic after just a CLEAN & POLISH ?! And with a final touch of POWDER COATING this beauty will never tarnish again! Such a low maintenance pet. :P

17.01.2022 A huge thankyou to David Bateson for the feature article in Wynnum Central, and for the lovely speech on Saturday!!! David, you've really brought Wynnum back to life! :D What a legend. On ya David. :P

17.01.2022 How cool is this little guy?! :D Poor fellow came in with a missing foot. :( (Probably lost it in an epic battle of some sort ;) ) But our trusty "Vet" Eugene was quick to the rescue! He made him a BRAND NEW foot from silver to look just like the original. The bird himself is solid silver too. What a magnificent Rooster indeed!

16.01.2022 A Communion Cup that was brought in to us looking rather wonky.. :/ Yes, we do spend most of our time fighting those two jerks OXIDATION & TARNISH -_- but as you can see here, our super amazing fighting skills where required in a different area.. :P And with another happy customer and an item that looks good as new.. Its another GREAT day here at EIB! ^_^ Hope your day was as great as ours! :D Bye! :) M.

16.01.2022 Come check out some art!!! ^_^

15.01.2022 Save the date! Saturday 25th of February!

15.01.2022 ..I don't think I need to explain this. :D

15.01.2022 "1928 Champion Athlete Trophy" This poor old prize looked like it went through a hell of a beating when it was first brought in to us. Dating back to 1928 it needed quite a bit of work to be done to it. Finishing off with some POWDER-COATING this trophy was saved from the dreaded tarnish FOREVER!! Hooray! ^_^

14.01.2022 Copper late 19th century scuba diving helmet with bronze detail. This super awesome addition to the modern man-cave came in looking about as sad as its owner. She was pretty fed up with the constant polishing that had to be done regularly to keep this prized possession in top condition. So we gave it a good old Clean & Polish along with a protective coat of Powder Coating to stop it from ever tarnishing again! HAPPY DAYS! ^_^

14.01.2022 Stunning, early 19th century, hand-panted English vase. This beautiful antique was brought to us with a missing handle, and was fully restored to its original condition.

13.01.2022 OKAY! So! Great great news here everyone!!! News that we are SUPER excited to announce!

11.01.2022 This sad looking, brass, costume bracelet, was brought in to us to be rescued! With someone previously attempting to repair the loose set stone with led solder. The bracelet has 3 purple cabochon decorative glass stones, that don't tolerate heat, so repairing the bracelet required very delicate work. ... Heres some before and afters.. ^_^

09.01.2022 HELLOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :D So sorry guys that we disappeared from here for a while! But you've been keeping us preeeeeeeetty busy lately. :) We've had some AMAZING & cute little pieces brought in to us recently that aren't looking very cheery at the moment. :( But you'll get to see them all as soon as we fix them up I promise! :3 But for now, here's a little Heirloom we fixed up not that long ago.. With quite a bit of effort, we managed to get rid of all that YUCKY CORROSION & O...XIDATION!.. Ew! -_- And with a thick coat of SILVER PLATING it looks good as new! ^_^ We do GOLD & SILVER PLATING for cutlery, table wear, jewellery, and really anything to be honest. >_< So give us a yell if you got any questions. :D We love hearing from you guys! <3 Stay absolutely awesome!!! ;) M.

08.01.2022 English, antique hand-painted vase. From the late 19th century. Brought to us with a missing handle, fully restored by EIB.

06.01.2022 "THE ADVENTURES OF EIB THE ANTIQUE RESCUERS" EIB vs. Oxidation & Tarnish OXIDATION & TARNISH the evil villains had struck again! Attacking this poor little Fruit Vase from every angle they could.. :( BUT NOT FOR LONG! ... The team at EIB were there within MINUTES! Throwing punches form the left and from the right!!! ..Eventually, Oxidation & Tarnish were defeated, and EIB were victorious. ^_^ The little Fruit Vase was rescued, and POWDER COATED, to stop the evil villains from ever attacking it again! And everyone lived happily ever after. ^_^ The end. :D Check out these B&A's that I put together last night. :D Some pretty radical changes, judging by what we had to begin with. Apparently it had been lying around in the basement for years, before the customer finally dug it out and brought it to us. :/ Definitely turned out a beautiful piece. :) No more going in the basement for that beauty.

04.01.2022 So this little CUTER than CUTE, silver plated shoe is NOT just a pretty face! :P Its actually a PIN CUSION & TAPE MEASURE ALL IN ONE!!!!!!!! :O OH MY GOSSSHHH! I personally couldnt get over how clever and cute it was for about two weeks! :D So anyway, it was brought in to us to get a bit of a facelift, to be passed on to a future generartion as a Christmas present. Luckyyyy. ;) Enjoy the B & A's! Wishing everyone a fantastic Christmas holiday and a fabulous New year! ^_^... Yours truly, the EIB team! :D P.s. how good are our gift wrapping skills aye?! :D ^_^

03.01.2022 After 9 taunting months of renovation, we finally opened our doors once again! Super excited to finally start operating normally. XD Thankyou to everyone who came along to show their support and to all the local businesses and our LOVELY customers who have been supporting us throughout the whole project!! Yours truly, EIB. :D Aaaaaaaaand thankyou to Jose from Wynnum Market for the fantastic photography!! :)

01.01.2022 This poor little guy was brought in to us in a shocking state.. Dropped, glued, and completely missing his tail. :-( He urgently needed serious veterinary attention.. So, Dr. Marsha got to work and sealed up his cracks, built up anything that was missing and made a BRAND NEW tail for him, having ONLY the owners description to work with. He was soon back with his loving owners, licking their faces, chewing bones, and wagging his new tail. Happy Days Fido. <3 :D
