Mark Weller operates The Authentic Age and lives in a Victorian house in Hawthorn that he restored himself. This followed his restoration of an Inter-War era house in Surrey Hills. During a wide-ranging career as an army officer, which he left as a Lieutenant Colonel, he specialized in logistics and project management. He also completed an MBA. Mark Weller brings a long and close interest in early architecture and antiques – and a passion for helping owners to maintain the original character of period houses and public buildings. He has read and travelled widely on the subject, becoming familiar with the distinguishing features of period buildings and appropriate fittings, finishes and antique furniture. He is well connected with other experts in the field and can recommend a range of specialists, including suppliers, tradesmen, architects, colour consultants, landscape architects and fencing contractors. Typical examples of Mark Weller’s experience in providing heritage advice are:
What former clients say: “We should have called you in before we started the restoration and extension!” (a South Yarra couple who sought advice on decorative aspects for their Victorian house). “You have helped because we didn’t know where to begin in identifying what is original and what is not” (owners of a 1930’s Glen Iris house they are restoring and extending). “You have saved me the time and effort of researching and finding an appropriate antique for the house” (an Armidale man who requested sourcing of a clock as a gift for his wife). “The fence options appropriate to the house and recommendation of a reliable fencing contractor were most helpful” (a Mont Albert lady overseeing the restoration of her family’s Edwardian home – who then referred a friend with a Californian Bungalow to The Authentic Age).Key Benefits of Engaging Authentic Age
