After 17 years trading out of the Rushcutters Bay shop, the opportunity to relocate to the PYD Building was too good to pass up. For Mother of Pearl and Sons the move has been an exciting opportunity to expand both their client base and range of products. Far from the cookie cutter design ethos, Mother of Pearl and Sons continues to delight with unique and sublimely crafted door furniture.

But is it really going to give you the sort of satisfaction you get with a Fersa handle? Call us elitist if you must, but the point is, in our world, door furniture is a universe.
