Nicholas Dattner & Co.


The most beautiful hand made solid wooden tables in the world.

Established nearly a quarter of a century ago in Melbourne, Dattner’s pioneered the use of native Australian hardwoods, regarded now as the finest in the world. In 1989 they showed the world for the first time the firey beauty of Redgum, the majestic eucalypt found typically on the banks of mighty rivers or the vast pastures of central Victoria. Only taken when they were old dead trees, this magnificent Australian hardwood has gone into some of the finest hand crafted wooden tables ever to be seen. Snapped up by eager buyers all over the world, these stunning Redgum tables have become highly collectable.

Dattner’s entire range of solid wood furniture, particularly dining suites, is a must see at either their Sydney or Melbourne showroom.

If you are in the market for a dining table then before you make your choice, come and see what a solid wood table looks like compared to any other choice. Environmentally it is the only choice.

You’ll find a huge range of solid wood tables – dining tables, hall tables, board room tables and more – in Australian wood particularly Redgum.

For a few weeks, Polly cocktail bar didn't have a name. The management were racking their brains trying to come up with something that would suit the rich 1920s inspired interior. Then, one Sunday morning as the staff were cleaning up, the chandeliers began to flicker, and then the bar was in complete darkness. A few minutes later, one candle sprung to life under a mirror which had Polly written on it in deep red lipstick. The bar was then named after the ghost who lives there. Some have seen her sitting on one of the couches, and even stealing a sip of someone's cocktail (her favorite being the one named after her, Miss Polly.) Others have found out a bit about her through research in the Fitzroy library. There was one Polly Jones who lived in the area at the turn of the last century with her husband and two children. Her husband shot her in a fit of rage after he found out about her singing and dancing at a local pub, thinking that she was disgracing his name by working when he was supposed to be the bread winner. It seems that Polly has found her home at 401 Brunswick Street for she is still wants the fame she is after before she was killed. ‑ Of course, some people say the bars name comes from the owner's surname ‑ but that's just a myth.
