    Recent auction highlights

    Recent auctions held by The Collector have been exciting with a great variety of collectables for sale and plenty of keen buyers.  The recent Decorative Art special feature sale was a huge success and was well attended.  The seemingly shortage of good fresh stock in the auction rooms doesn’t seem to be affecting us at all.

    We have been busy receiving estates and several collections.  A fine collection of carved ivory was sold recently, along with more tribal artifacts, Art Deco china, including Clarice Cliff, a collection of early 19th C engravings, retro designer furniture, jewellery and a good record collection.

     

    The next special Toys & dolls sale is being held on the 5th June followed by the Australiana sale on the 3rd July.  Both sales are shaping up well and some items are already on display at our premises.  Enquires and entries are invited.

     

    Listed here are prices of some items sold recently.
