HAVE FUN WITH COLOUR
Ceramic pottery fashioned with
handles and lids made to look like
African wildlife has been known to
be highly sought-after the world
over. This kind of decoration would
be great for a breakfast room or a
wall unit displaying beautiful pottery.
RUSTIC
And then, of course, there’s the rustic look. From woven baskets, artfully
beaded dolls, and hand-carved wood and soapstone, there’s a great choice of
ornaments that will liven up any informal room.

THE CONVERSATION PIECE
There are actually so many different genres
that you can find in the Cambanos store, so
once you have decided on the look-and-feel
for your home or your special African-themed
room, you can tell their very helpful staff and
they will be able to point you in the right
direction.
If, on the other hand, your décor is pretty
much sorted, and all you need is an intriguing
conversation piece to complete a room, they
have those, too.
This is an ammonite fossil. The ammonites
became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous
Period, at roughly the same time that the
dinosaurs disappeared. Ammonites were
closely related to the octopus, squid and
cuttlefish and they get their name from the
Egyptian god, Ammon, who was frequently
depicted wearing rams’ horns. Although
it’s difficult to gauge the size from a photo,
this specimen found in the Cambanos
showroom is roughly the size of a small
coffee table.
They also have a fabulous selection of
painted ostrich eggs, some of which are
mounted and others that can be bought
separately. These, by the way, also make great
corporate gifts if you ever have a requirement
for something different and appealing.
All of these décor items can be found at
Cambanos and Son Agencies CC. They are
conveniently situated opposite the Gallagher
Convention Centre in Midrand. Not only do
they have their own secure parking, they
have a coffee shop that serves a variety of
beverages and light snacks, too.
If you are unable to get there, they do
also have an online store, or you could ring
them to discuss your requirements.
