In the kitchen of this
Johannesburg home,
a glass-fronted cabinet
from Spaces and Places
(spacesandplaces.co.za)
houses the homeowner’s
treasured crockery. On the
table is a tea set bought in
Prague, while a portrait of
the owner, painted by his
colleague Dr Antonie de
Beer, hangs high on the wall.
