Como on 'Collectors'

Como was in the spotlight for a few minutes on the ABC television show, Collectors. In the episode we see Gordon inside the house in the drawing and dining rooms, ballroom, morning room, study and billiard room. The furniture in these rooms, primarily owned by the Armytage family, were locally produced by Bell and Butt, cabinet makers from Richmond, and were mostly made from Australian timbers, such as Huon pine, Cedar and Blackwood.

The Armytages were very well travelled and Gordon highlights many pieces the family picked up on their journeys around the world, including a Louis XVI style walnut Bonheur de jour and lady’s writing desk, and two marble tables inlaid with mosaic malachite.
