The Morrison family has been dealing in Maltese Antiques since the 1970s and was for many years by volume the largest exporter of Maltese Antiques. Exporting to Warwick, England. Amongst a wide range of general antique articles shipped out of Malta, there were some interesting items exported. For example, many iron bed frames with brass trim, which dissembled and suited shipping. Tea chests full of old keys and locks. Also wrought iron railings, gates and grilles [ again stackable for shipping]. Stoves and oil lamps. By repute some of these items had previously been retrieved from WW2 bombed outbuildings, and hoarded en masse in cellars and suchlike. Elsewhere from the countryside came small wooden Maltese oxen ploughs which would fold for easy shipping. From old Malta/villages came boxes of wooden turned bobbins, with glass beads as desired by the American market. We also exported Landau, and many horse-drawn hearses adorned with carved cherubim. Containers were filled and packed tight. On one occasion a container was shared with Lord Carnarvon for the export of goods to England. We even exported from Valletta an entire octagonal wooden flower seller’s kiosk shop with a cupola roof. Back In England, in the 60’s till the 90’s the US export market-led. Followed by at times, Australia and Japan. France and Belgium due to proximity were consistent markets. For many years much was exported to Italy, indeed Sicily notably Palermo for ‘ brown furniture ‘.For a time Sicilian shippers would smash / squash furniture flat, including chests of drawers to get more into containers. These items were going to be refinished anyway, to a high shine for the Italian market, such shine usually considered being undesirable in England.
