Copperart​

Does anyone recall Copperart? It was a household name in the ’80s and ’90s, with TV ads you couldn’t miss and bargains that filled Aussie homes with everything—from brass vases to those iconic touch lamps with the glass panels. Whether it was a Dust Buster that’s still going strong, battle axes on the bedroom wall, or a gift for Mum, Copperart had it all. Some say their nan practically lived there!

I have a coffee mug that my late mother bought for me, we were looking at a table of mugs at Copperart Macarthur Square, one Saturday and one caught my eye in my favourite colour burgundy, I remember it was $2.50, when I wasn't looking mum bought it for me. This mug became my work mug and came with me to every job I ever had over the years until I retired, mum has been gone 20 years this month and I still have the mug and is still used today.

I used to love browsing through Copperart as they had pretty and stylish things which were also reasonably priced.

Yes, I remember a whole shop filled with it. I think we only had a few copper plates to hang on the wall when I was growing up.
