Dunedin antique dealer and restorer Ray Paul might be soon closing the doors of Princes St business Anderson & Paul but, as he puts it, he’s "not retiring from life". Mr Paul, 67, worked in partnership with Geoffrey Anderson until Mr Anderson’s death last year. Mr Anderson did a lot of the repair work while Mr Paul tended to do the cleanup of the furniture, colour matching and waxing. A lot of stuff in the shop had already been sold and he was having a sale to clear the remaining items. While there were downsides to being self-employed, Mr Paul felt "extremely blessed and lucky" to have been able to do what he loved, supported by his family.
