BEING in the same business, in the same location for 40 years is quite an achievement. And Montville Antiques is an example of a business that has weathered many storms throughout its 40 year history, the most recent of which was COVID. Montville Antiques was founded in Main Street Montville by the Wilcox family. “I think it is wonderful that the shop has remained in the original building as it is such an appropriate place to showcase the beautiful things we stock,” said current owner, Samantha Ryva. Samantha’s Uncles, Graeme and Dallas, moved from Sydney to take over the business in 2001, changing the name to ‘Australis of Mont- ville Antiques’ (a combination of the name from their Antique Shop in Caringbah, NSW and the original name). They quickly became well known and much loved in the Montville community. “My Uncles have been avid collectors for decades and it is incredible how many of our cur- Shop Local. rent customers have been associated with the business for a long time.
