This has been in our family for many many years. It came from overseas (Europe) and before that from one of Portugal ex-colonies. Hate to see it go but we're downsizing, so it has to go.

It came from overseas (Europe) and before that from one of Portugal ex-colonies. Hate to see it go but we're downsizing, so it has to go. Unfortunately, the original stone was broken during our move to Hamilton. It would look great with a tempered glass though. Or maybe if anyone knows how to fix the original stone. It's in perfect. I don't know what type of wood it is.

Price: $250

We want to say a huge thank you to the incredible OneSight team who have recently spent time at five Salvation Army centres around the country providing free eye tests and glasses to Kiwis who are unable to afford them.

624 people were seen over five days with nearly 70% needing glasses. Amazingly, 150 people attending the clinics were are able to leave with their new glasses which were manufactured on site!

OneSight Programme Manager for Australia/New Zealand Jenny Harnett says it was an honour to partner with The Salvation Army to deliver these clinics to communities in need. “We believe that glasses unlock potential, providing opportunities for students to learn, for people to work and earn a living, to drive, to read, and to support their families."

Thanks again OneSight!
