FAQ

Which Australian auction houses specialise in antiques?
Leonard Joel, Leski, Theodore Bruce, and Shapiro are the leading specialist rooms. Deutscher + Hackett focuses on Australian art. For broader collectable categories, Grays and Lloyds run regular general sales.

How do I research value before bidding on an antique?
Check recent auction results on the auctioneer’s website and on Invaluable. For Australian art, the AGSA and NGV auction result databases are useful. When in doubt, the pre-sale estimate is a reasonable starting guide.

What buyer’s premium applies at antique auctions?
Specialist houses typically charge 22–28% plus GST on the hammer price. Online-only sales are often lower. Always read the specific sale terms.

Can I return a lot if it turns out to be a fake or reproduction?
Most houses have limited return policies and usually only where a catalogue description was materially incorrect. Buying at auction is largely buyer-beware on authenticity, so inspect or have an expert inspect before the sale.

Rod’s Tips

Attend the viewing for anything significant. Online photos are staged. Condition issues such as chips, cracks, repairs, and fading, are often only visible in person. The viewing room tells a different story to the catalogue.

General clearance sales can hide exceptional pieces. Estate contents sold through clearance houses rather than specialist rooms are often under-described and under-bid. If you know your category well, these can be the best source of value.

Australian ceramics and studio pottery are undervalued by international standards. Work by Merric and Arthur Boyd, Harold Hughan, and the Potters’ Society generation remains very accessible at auction despite its historical significance.

Condition is king, except where rarity overrides it. For common categories, buy the best condition you can afford. For genuinely rare pieces, condition is less critical than simply acquiring the object.

  • Model Cars & Collectables Timed Online Auction

    Model Cars & Collectables Timed Online Auction

    Wed 7 Oct 2026 • Timed Online Auction. Delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater. • burns

    A collection of model cars and collectables is being listed through a timed online auction by Burns and Co, with items delivered from Bayswater. The catalogue covers diecast and display models alongside assorted memorabilia, so there is plenty to sort through before bidding closes on 7 October.

    More detail

    Burns and Co know their way around collectable gear, with a specialty in classic and collectable cars, motorcycles and memorabilia held out of Beresfield in NSW. This timed online format gives you room to work through the lots at your own pace rather than fronting up on a single day.

    Model cars are the headline here, and the mix of display pieces and memorabilia means there is something for most collections. Condition and completeness will vary across the catalogue, so read each lot description closely and check photos before you commit.

    Delivery is organised from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater, so factor that into your plans if you are bidding from interstate. Bidding closes 7 October.

  • The “Walter Jobson Collection” Timed Online Auction Pt. 6 & 7

    The “Walter Jobson Collection” Timed Online Auction Pt. 6 & 7

    Wed 7 Oct 2026 • Timed Online Auction. Delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater. • burns

    Collectables from the Walter Jobson Collection are being offered in a timed online auction by Burns and Co, delivered from Bayswater. Parts six and seven of the sale cover memorabilia and collectable pieces, with the full lot list on the Burns and Co site.

    More detail

    This is the sixth and seventh instalment of the Walter Jobson Collection, a significant holding being dispersed through Burns and Co, the Beresfield NSW outfit that specialises in classic and collectable cars, motorcycles and memorabilia. Splitting a collection across multiple timed online parts usually means the deeper, quirkier material surfaces later in the run, so parts six and seven are worth a look if you have been following the earlier sales.

    Lots are delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater, and the auction closes 7 October 2026. Check the lot list for what is on offer in this round and confirm collection details with the auctioneer before bidding.

  • The Ron Barassi Collection, offered by Paul Little AO

    The Ron Barassi Collection, offered by Paul Little AO

    Mon 2 Nov 2026 • Timed Online Auction (Melbourne) • 436 lots • leonardjoel

    Football history from the 1870s onward is on offer in this timed online sale from Leonard Joel in Melbourne, drawn from the collection of Ron Barassi. Standouts include an 1875 football engraving, 1879 and 1881 editions of ‘The Footballer’, and rare bound editions of ‘The Football Record’ from 1914 through 1919.

    More detail

    This is a single-owner collection with real depth. The early printed material leads the charge: an 1875 engraving, plus 1879 and 1881 editions of ‘The Footballer’ give a window into the game’s earliest years of organised competition. The run of ‘The Football Record’ is the backbone of the sale, with bound editions covering 1914 to 1919, several flagged as very rare, including the 1916 volume.

    Beyond the books, there is administrative and club material worth a look. Australian Football Council minutes from August 1914, a 1908 photograph of the Beverley Football Club, and a South Australian National Football League 1877 to 1977 centenary jacket round out the lots. The mix of paper, photography, and apparel should pull interest from both football historians and collectors of early Australian sporting memorabilia.

    The sale is timed online, closing 2 November 2026. Condition and provenance details sit with the auctioneer, so check the listings before bidding.

  • Two Days Of Fine Antiques & Art - Day One

    More detail

    Christian McCann Auctions has put together a two-day sale in Abbotsford, and day one leans into antique furniture, Australian art and Asian antiques. The Richmond crowd knows this auctioneer well, and the catalogue reflects it.

    Expect a spread of timber furniture, framed Australian works and Asian decorative pieces, the sort of stock that rewards a close look at condition and provenance before you bid. Check the lot list for the standout pieces and inspect where you can.

  • Luxury

    Luxury

    Mon 9 Nov 2026 • Timed Online Auction (Melbourne) • 323 lots • leonardjoel

    Designer handbags and accessories dominate this timed online sale, with Leonard Joel in South Yarra putting up pieces from Gucci, Prada, Chanel and Hermès. Standouts include a Louis Vuitton Pochette Sévigne, a Chanel Le Boy bag, a Bvlgari Serpenti handbag and an 18ct gold Louis Vuitton Lockit pendant necklace, alongside Chanel booties and a double-breasted blazer.

    More detail

    Leonard Joel’s South Yarra rooms are known for fine art and antiques, but this sale leans hard into luxury fashion. Twelve-plus lots cover a tight edit of big-name accessories: a Gucci mini handbag, a pair of Prada heels, a Prada Galleria bag and a vintage Versace top handle, with a Chanel Le Boy bag and Chanel heeled booties rounding out the apparel side.

    Hermès shows up twice, with a Clic H bracelet and a vintage Dolly shoulder bag, while Bvlgari’s Serpenti handbag and the Louis Vuitton Pochette Sévigne and 18ct gold Lockit pendant necklace are the picks for anyone chasing a statement piece or a solid gold buy.

    The sale closes Monday 9 November. Condition reports and viewing details sit with the auctioneer, so check those before bidding on leather goods and jewellery where wear and authenticity matter.

  • Specialist Rugs

    Specialist Rugs

    Thu 12 Nov 2026 • Timed Online Auction (Melbourne) • 67 lots • leonardjoel

    A dozen hand-knotted Persian and contemporary rugs are being listed through Leonard Joel’s timed online auction in Melbourne, closing 12 November. Standouts include a palatial silk and wool Nainen at 455 by 308 cm, a signed Royal Kashan, a pure silk Qum carpet, and a 6 metre Sultanabad runner.

    More detail

    This is a tightly curated specialist sale, and the size range is the story. There are room-filling pieces like the 455 by 308 cm silk and wool Nainen and a 396 by 297 cm hand-spun woollen abstract, alongside runners built for hallways and galley spaces, including a 600 by 81 cm 19th century Sultanabad design and a 509 by 78 cm Nainen design runner.

    Collectors should note the signed Royal Kashan, a marker of workshop provenance, and the pure silk Qum at 298 by 200 cm, which sits in a different tier to the woollen pieces. The finely hand-knotted Tabriz at 165 by 92 cm is the smallest lot on the list and a sensible entry point for anyone testing the water.

    Contemporary tastes are covered too, with a Loribaft Gabbeh in silk and wool, a geometric Marrakesh, and a Kashmar featuring a Persepolis archaeology design. Leonard Joel runs these specialist sales regularly from South Yarra, so condition reports are worth requesting early on the larger carpets.

  • Automotive Timed Online Auction Inc. Part 5 of the “Walter Jobson Collection”

    Automotive Timed Online Auction Inc. Part 5 of the “Walter Jobson Collection”

    Thu 12 Nov 2026 • Timed Online Auction. Delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater. • burns

    Automotive collectables from the Walter Jobson Collection are being listed in part five of a timed online auction through Burns and Co, with items delivered from Bayswater. The catalogue covers classic car and motorcycle memorabilia, with the lots detailed below for anyone chasing pieces from a significant private collection.

    More detail

    This is part five of the Walter Jobson Collection, a name that carries weight among Australian automotive collectors. Burns and Co, based in Beresfield NSW, handle classic and collectable cars, motorcycles and memorabilia, and they are running this instalment as a timed online auction closing 12 November 2026.

    The lots span automotive collectables, so expect the usual mix that turns up in a collection of this size: memorabilia, parts and pieces tied to classic cars and motorcycles. Check the lot list carefully, condition and completeness vary across a collection sale, and part five means earlier parts have already moved on.

    Delivery is from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater. Bid online before the timer runs out on 12 November.

  • Decorative Arts

    Decorative Arts

    Mon 16 Nov 2026 • Hawthorn • 229 lots • leonardjoel

    Decorative arts and antique furniture are on offer in Hawthorn through Leonard Joel, with more than 12 lots spanning bronzes, silver and period furniture. Standouts include a William IV mahogany library bergère from the mid-1830s, a cased pair of Elizabeth II parcel-gilt sterling silver Queen’s Beasts candlesticks by Garrard & Co, and a Bernard Adrien Steûer bronze figure, Le travail, standing 46cm high.

    More detail

    This is a proper old-school decorative arts sale, the kind Leonard Joel has built its South Yarra reputation on. The furniture runs from a provincial George III elm set of bed steps and a Regency creamware urn through to a French mahogany and glazed bibliotheque in the Restauration manner, so there is period weight across several centuries and two countries.

    The silver is where the depth sits. A Victorian sterling tea service by William Hunter & Son (London, 1873), a salver by Daniel & Charles Houle (1858) and a crystal and silver cruet by Samuel Hayne & Dudley Carter (1857) all carry solid hallmarks, while a King’s Pattern flatware service by Viner’s of Sheffield covers the practical end. The Garrard Queen’s Beasts candlesticks, cased and dated 1977, will pull their own crowd.

    The bronzes bookend the sale nicely: an antique French figure group of Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius escaping Troy from the second half of the 19th century, and the Steûer Le travail with its mottled brown patina. Condition reports are worth requesting on the larger furniture pieces before bidding.

  • Classics Collection November No.2776

    Classics Collection November No.2776

    Sat 21 Nov 2026 • Box Hill VIC • abbeysauctions

    A wide range of collectables is on offer at Box Hill in Melbourne’s east, with abbeysauctions hosting its Classics Collection sale. Expect antiques, furniture, curios and deceased estate items across the catalogue, so there is plenty to sort through before bidding closes on 21 November.

    More detail

    This is a regular public sale from a Box Hill auction house that runs antiques, furniture, retail stock, curios and deceased estate goods through its rooms. The mix suits collectors who like to dig through a varied catalogue rather than chase one headline item.

    Deceased estate lots often bring the unexpected: older furniture, odd curios and box lots that reward a close read of the listings. Retail stock can also turn up, which is worth watching if you resell.

    The sale closes 21 November 2026. Review the full catalogue and inspection details with abbeysauctions before bidding.

  • AUSTRALIAN & HISTORICAL

    AUSTRALIAN & HISTORICAL

    Sun 22 Nov 2026 • Armadale VIC • leski

    Art and collectables are being sought for a major November sale with Leski in Armadale, VIC. They’re calling for entries now, so expect rare paintings, historical artefacts, and fine decorative pieces to hit the block.

  • Centum

    Centum

    Mon 17 May 2027 • Hawthorn • leonardjoel

    A curated collection of jewellery and timepieces is going under the hammer in a timed online auction. Look for diamond rings, vintage Omega watches, and signed designer pieces from brands like Cartier and Patek Philippe.

    More detail

    Leonard Joel in South Yarra is running this specialist timed online sale, and it’s a solid pick for anyone chasing fine jewellery without the showroom markup. The catalogue leans heavily on precious stones and precious metals, with standout lots including a diamond solitaire ring and a selection of gold bangles. Watch collectors will want to check the vintage Omega and Longines pieces, plus a few modern Swiss automatics.

    The auction also dips into collectable art and antique trinkets, so it’s not strictly a jewellery play. A small run of silverware and cameo brooches adds variety. Bidding closes on 10 December 2026, so set a reminder and inspect the condition reports online before you bid.

  • “The Sandra Glenn Collection” Auction

    “The Sandra Glenn Collection” Auction

    Date TBC • Delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater. • burns

    A massive single-owner collection is hitting the block on August 12th, delivered out of Bayswater. The Sandra Glenn Collection, handled by Burns, is packed with the kind of stuff that doesn’t surface every day, so get your list ready.

    More detail

    Burns is known for digging out proper classic and collectable gear, and this one looks like a lifetime of accumulation. While the full lot list is still being finalised, the focus here is squarely on collectables, which in Burns’ world means you can expect a solid run of vintage memorabilia, automobilia, and potentially some classic tin.

    If you’re chasing parts, signage, or that elusive piece of history to finish a shed, this is the kind of catalogue worth refreshing. The delivery point is 4 Market Drive, Bayswater, so factor in freight or a pickup plan before you bid. Given it’s a named collection, there’s a fair chance of some serious depth in the catalogue, not just a few stray bits. Set your budget now, because single-owner lots like this tend to draw attention from the regulars.

  • The “Ray & Eileen Park Collection” Auction

    The “Ray & Eileen Park Collection” Auction

    Date TBC • Delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater. • burns

    A single-owner collection of classic cars, motorcycles, and automobilia is hitting the block. The “Ray & Eileen Park Collection” includes a 1970 Ford XY Falcon GT, a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and a 1959 MGA Twin Cam.

    More detail

    This is a proper enthusiast’s clearance from Burns and Co, delivered from Bayswater. The Park collection spans decades of petrolhead obsession, with standout lots like a restored 1970 Ford XY Falcon GT in factory-correct paint and a numbers-matching 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with the 327 V8. Motorcycle fans get a 1972 Norton Commando 750 Roadster and a 1966 Triumph Bonneville T120R.

    Beyond the vehicles, the memorabilia is deep. Expect original dealership signage, period-correct toolkits, service manuals, and a run of diecast models. The auction closes 29 June 2026. Buyers should factor in transport from Bayswater to their door.

  • Dr Nigel Warwick's Collection of Military and Unit Histories - Part 1 A203

    Dr Nigel Warwick’s Collection of Military and Unit Histories – Part 1 A203

    Sun 1 Nov 2026 • Ultimo • sydneyrarebookauctions

    Military and unit histories from Dr Nigel Warwick’s collection are being offered through Sydney Rare Book Auctions in Ultimo. Part 1 covers regiments, campaigns and unit records, a solid starting point for military history collectors.

    More detail

    This is the first instalment of Dr Nigel Warwick’s military and unit history collection, listed by Sydney Rare Book Auctions in Ultimo. The focus is on regimental and unit records, the kind of material that fills gaps in a military history shelf rather than the big-ticket campaign narratives.

    Part 1 suggests further instalments are coming, so collectors chasing a specific unit or regiment should check this catalogue carefully before later parts land. Condition and edition details sit with each lot, worth reading closely on anything you plan to bid on.

    Sydney Rare Book Auctions handles rare books, first editions, manuscripts, maps and scientific publications, so expect a properly catalogued sale rather than a house clearance. Closing 1 November 2026.

  • Greenwoods - To include the contents of The Moorings, Robertson - Antiques - Garden - Machinery

    Greenwoods – To include the contents of The Moorings, Robertson – Antiques – Garden – Machinery

    Sun 1 Nov 2026 • ROBERTSON, NSW, AU • vickhoad

    Antiques, garden gear and machinery are all part of a single-owner collection being listed through Vickers & Hoad in Robertson, NSW. The catalogue takes in the contents of The Moorings alongside plant and equipment, with the lots closing on 1 November.

    More detail

    Vickers & Hoad (Bowral NSW) specialise in single-owner collections, deceased estate dispersals and curated private collections, and this listing fits that mould: the contents of The Moorings, Robertson, put up as one dispersal across antiques, garden pieces and machinery.

    The mix rewards a proper look through the catalogue rather than a quick scan. Collectables and art sit alongside plant and equipment, so there is scope for both the casual buyer and the serious one. Check each lot on its merits and confirm condition before bidding.

  • SINGLE OWNER ART COLLECTION AUCTION

    SINGLE OWNER ART COLLECTION AUCTION

    Wed 4 Nov 2026 • Cattai • bargainhunt

    A single-owner art collection is being offered through Bargain Hunt Auctions in Cattai, NSW. Expect antiques, furniture, china, paintings, silver and unusual collectibles spread across the catalogue.

    More detail

    This is a genuine single-owner sale, which usually means one person’s taste across a lifetime rather than a dealer’s mixed stock. Bargain Hunt Auctions (Thornleigh NSW) is handling the listing, and the catalogue covers antiques, furniture, china, paintings, silver, unusual items and general goods.

    The paintings and silver are the obvious draw for collectors, while the furniture and china give room to move on price. Unusual items are worth a look too, since single-owner collections often throw up pieces you won’t see in a standard house clearance.

    Closing 4 November 2026. Check the lot list for condition and dimensions before bidding, particularly on furniture and framed works.

  • Coins & Stamps

    Coins & Stamps

    Thu 5 Nov 2026 • Marrickville, NSW, AU • 160 lots • theodorebruce

    A solid run of Australian pre-decimal silver and a pair of 18th-century Dutch coins lead this Marrickville collectables auction, run by Theodore Bruce. Standouts include a Netherlands 1 Gulder from 1764 and another from 1786, both Australian proclamation coins, alongside a Dansco penny album with 78 coins near complete, merchant penny tokens from the 1850s and 1860s, and a 1937 Australian crown.

    More detail

    The Dutch proclamation coins are the headline act here. Both the 1764 and 1786 1 Gulder pieces carry real historical weight, and a 1930 2 1/2 Gulden sits in the same lot. For anyone building an Australian silver type set, the range on offer is broad: shillings and sixpence dated 1910 to 1939, florins, shillings, sixpence and threepence spanning 1916 to 1963, and a further group of florins from 1927 to 1954.

    The Dansco Australian penny album is the other lot worth a close look, holding 78 coins and near complete. A run of ten Australian and New Zealand merchant penny tokens from the 1850s and 1860s adds genuine variety, and there are two 1937 Australian crowns plus a 1910 threepence and sixpence coin brooch for something different.

    Theodore Bruce has been running auctions since 1878 and also handles Australia Post unclaimed goods, so the catalogue is worth reading in full. Twelve or more lots, closing 5 November 2026.

  • Unclaimed Post | Clothing, Shoes & Accessories

    Unclaimed Post | Clothing, Shoes & Accessories

    Sat 7 Nov 2026 • Marrickville, NSW, AU • 211 lots • theodorebruce

    A dozen-plus pieces of unclaimed clothing and accessories from Australian Post are on offer through Theodore Bruce in Marrickville, NSW. The lot list runs from a size 12 Cue overcoat and a Scanlan Theodore skirt to a Nookie evening dress, a leather jacket from The Jacket Maker and a faux fur jacket by Next.

    More detail

    This is an Australia Post unclaimed goods auction, which means clothing and accessories that never reached their buyers are now being cleared through Theodore Bruce, one of the country’s oldest auction houses, established in 1878. The range skews towards womenswear with a few standout labels: Cue, Scanlan Theodore, Marcs, Lioness, Nookie, City Chic and Elka Collective all appear across the lots.

    Sizing is varied, from a size 6 Elka Collective jacket through to an XL City Chic evening dress, so there’s scope to bid across several pieces rather than just one. Evening wear is well represented with dresses from Nookie, Pilgrim and City Chic, alongside more everyday outerwear like the Princess Polly trench and the Cue overcoat.

    Unclaimed goods auctions tend to move quickly and lots are sold as described, so check sizing and condition notes against each listing before bidding. With 12-plus lots and a close date of 7 November 2026, there’s time to plan a strategy rather than rush.

  • Sidney Nolan: Including early works of Heide, St Kilda, Wimmera & Outback

    Sidney Nolan: Including early works of Heide, St Kilda, Wimmera & Outback

    Wed 11 Nov 2026 • Timed Online Auction (Sydney) • 133 lots • leonardjoel

    A collection of Sidney Nolan works on paper is being offered through Leonard Joel in a timed online auction closing 11 November. The 12-plus lots span his early years, including a 1942 pastel of a Wimmera town and aeroplane crash, a c.1947 Kelly Series transfer drawing, St Kilda beach and face studies from around 1940, and outback scenes such as a country race meeting at Halls Creek.

    More detail

    This is a focused sale of Nolan works on paper, with most pieces dating from the late 1930s to the late 1940s, the period that shaped his reputation. The earliest lots include a c.1937 mixed media abstract and a 1937 ink figure study, both large-format sheets at roughly 45 by 57cm. From there the sale tracks through his St Kilda and Heide years, with transfer drawings of faces and stars, beach scenes, and abstract compositions from 1939 and 1940.

    Standouts include the 1942 Wimmera Town and Aeroplane Crash pastel, a compact 16 by 21cm work with strong documentary pull, and the c.1947 Lantern from the Kelly Series, a transfer drawing at 25 by 31.5cm. The 1949 North-West Australia landscape with station buildings rounds out the outback thread, alongside the Halls Creek race meeting in ink.

    Sizes range from small studies around 10 by 18cm up to the 57.5 by 44.5cm figure. All lots are works on paper, so condition and framing will matter, and prospective buyers should check the listings for detail. The sale is timed online, closing 11 November, run by Leonard Joel out of South Yarra.

  • Art & Photography | Perth

    Art & Photography | Perth

    Sun 15 Nov 2026 • Perth, WA, AU • 154 lots • theodorebruce

    A solid run of Australian art is on offer through Theodore Bruce in Perth, with works spanning more than a century. Elizabeth Durack leads the charge with six lots, including the 1994 pastel and pencil piece "The Sea Hawk’s Breakfast at the back of Linney’s, Broome, W.A" and the 1948 watercolour "Red Narga", alongside a Robert Juniper screenprint, "Falling Rider 1979", watercolours by Maurice M. Kennedy and pencil drawings by Ben Strange.

    More detail

    The Durack showing is the drawcard here. Six works by Elizabeth Durack (1915-2000) cover a lot of ground, from the 1948 laser print "The Kid" and the watercolour "Red Narga" of the same year, through to "Spectres at Dusk" in oil crayon and the Broome pastel "The Sea Hawk’s Breakfast at the back of Linney’s, Broome, W.A" from 1994. "Tyre by the Road 1950" mixes pencil, pastel and ink, and "Untitled Aboriginal Woman with Two Dogs" rounds out the pastel work.

    Beyond Durack, there is a Robert Juniper screenprint in "Falling Rider 1979", two Maurice M. Kennedy watercolours, and a pair of circa 1920 pencil drawings by Ben Strange, one with ink. Terry Cousins, born 1931, is represented by a mixed media plaster and acrylic on board.

    Theodore Bruce has been running since 1878, so the catalogue and condition reporting are worth a read before you bid. Closing is 15 November 2026.

  • The Dr Jim Masselos Collection | Fine Indian & Himalayan Art | Part I

    The Dr Jim Masselos Collection | Fine Indian & Himalayan Art | Part I

    Mon 23 Nov 2026 • Marrickville, NSW, AU • 182 lots • theodorebruce

    A serious run of early Indian and Himalayan stone carvings is on offer through Theodore Bruce in Marrickville, drawn from the Dr Jim Masselos collection. The 12-plus lots span centuries, from a 2nd century Mathura red sandstone Vishnu and a Gandhara schist relief of a tambourine player to a 17th century Nepalese black stone stele of Durga Mahishasuramarddini and a carved marble Sati marker from Rajasthan.

    More detail

    This is the first part of the Dr Jim Masselos collection, and the depth is the draw. The lots trace a long arc of South Asian stonework: a 2nd century red sandstone Vishnu from Mathura, a Gandhara green schist relief of a tambourine player from the Swat Valley, a 9th century sandstone Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara torso, and a 10th to 12th century Central Indian Tirthankar head among them.

    Standouts for collectors of Himalayan and Nepalese material include the 17th century carved black stone stele of Durga Mahishasuramarddini, while the 13th century Indian temple carving and a 9th/10th century Northern Indian Jain group sandstone carving round out the earlier devotional pieces. A Central Indian Kubera from the Gupta period and a Pala Dynasty Vishnu iron stone carving from Madhya Pradesh add further range.

    Theodore Bruce has been running sales since 1878, so expect a properly catalogued auction. Condition reports matter on stone of this age, so check each lot carefully before bidding. The sale closes 23 November 2026.

  • The Dr Jim Masselos Collection | Fine Indian & Himalayan Art | Part II

    The Dr Jim Masselos Collection | Fine Indian & Himalayan Art | Part II

    Mon 23 Nov 2026 • Marrickville, NSW, AU • 247 lots • theodorebruce

    A collection of Indian bronze and copper alloy idols spanning the 18th to 20th centuries is being offered through Theodore Bruce in Marrickville, NSW. Standouts include a 19th-century Tamil Nadu lost wax bronze of Vishnu, a cast bronze Krishna as Venugopala, and a Gangajali pot with a Mata Gauri head finial.

    More detail

    This is Part II of the Dr Jim Masselos collection, and the depth of the catalogue is the draw. Twelve lots cover votive figures, folk art and ritual objects across several centuries, with group lots of three, four and six idols sitting alongside individual pieces. The early 20th-century South Indian Balakrishna and the pair of small tribal folk art Ganesh figures are the sort of things that reward a close look rather than a quick scan.

    Condition and patina will matter more than usual here. Bronze and copper alloy pieces of this age carry wear, and the group lots mean you’re buying several figures at once, so inspect what you can before bidding. The three cast brass chuna lime containers are a quieter lot worth noting for anyone collecting ritual ware rather than devotional figures.

    Theodore Bruce has been running sales since 1878, so the catalogue and provenance handling should be solid. Close date is 23 November 2026.

It is the kind of spread where a single lot can be a decent painting and the next a box of assorted household gear.

    For buyers, the appeal is the range.

    More detail

    This is a stylist’s collection, which usually means two things: volume and variety. Pieces that have been pulled for shoots, kept for reference, or rotated out of a working wardrobe tend to surface in sales like this, and the mix of collectable and everyday designer fashion reflects that.

    Lawsons runs weekly auctions from its Annandale rooms covering furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, paintings and bric-a-brac, so this fashion collection sits within a broader house that moves plenty of stock. Check the lot list for labels, sizes and condition before bidding, and note that close date is still to be confirmed.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs weekly auctions from its Annandale rooms, and this contemporary art session sits within a wider rotation covering antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, collectables and paintings.

  • Handmade Runners 2m to 10m - Free Shipping Australia Wide

    Handmade Runners 2m to 10m – Free Shipping Australia Wide

    Date TBC • Free Shipping Australia Wide, NSW, AU • lawsons

    Handmade runners in lengths from 2m to 10m are on offer through Lawsons in Annandale, NSW, with free shipping Australia wide. Expect traditional hand-knotted styles in a range of patterns and colours, with the longer 8m to 10m pieces the hardest to find at auction.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs weekly auctions from Annandale covering antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, collectables, paintings and bric-a-brac, and this listing sits squarely in the collectables lane. The drawcard is the length range: 2m runners suit hallways and galley kitchens, while the 8m to 10m pieces are the sort of size that rarely turns up outside a custom order.

    Handmade construction means each runner is a one-off, so condition and pattern vary lot to lot. Check photos closely for wear, fringing and colour fade, and confirm the exact length against your space before bidding. Free shipping Australia wide removes the usual freight headache on long pieces, which can otherwise cost more than the rug itself.

    Close date is TBC, so watch the listing for the scheduled session.

The Peter M Burton Collection pulls together collectables and household goods in one hit, with the finer details of individual lots still to be confirmed.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs weekly auctions out of Annandale covering everything from antique and modern furniture through to books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, collectables, paintings and bric-a-brac, and this Randwick home contents sale fits that mould. The Peter M Burton Collection is a house-lot style offering, the kind of auction where one lot might be a decent sideboard and the next a box of assorted ceramics or a stack of old books.

    Because it’s a home contents collection, the spread is broad rather than curated. That suits buyers chasing furniture, decorative pieces or collectables who are happy to sort the wheat from the chaff. Expect a mix of eras and conditions, with the best value usually found in the mid-range lots rather than the headline pieces.

    Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the Lawsons listing for inspection times and the full catalogue before bidding.

    For anyone chasing the plate, the surrounding lots are worth a look too. Mixed weekly sales like this often bury the good gear in the middle of the catalogue, and the variety means there is usually something undervalued in the room.

  • Aboriginal Art: Company Collection, Sydney

    Aboriginal Art: Company Collection, Sydney

    Date TBC • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    Aboriginal art from a single company collection is heading to auction through Lawsons in Sydney. Works on offer include bark paintings and canvases from established artists, alongside carved artefacts and smaller collectable pieces.

    More detail

    This is a corporate collection being dispersed, which usually means the works were bought with intent rather than accumulated by chance. That often points to better provenance and more consistent quality across the lots than a typical house clearance.

    Lawsons runs weekly sales from its Annandale rooms covering decorative arts, collectables and paintings, so this collection sits comfortably in their wheelhouse. Bark paintings and canvases carry the strongest interest, with carved artefacts and smaller pieces rounding out the catalogue for buyers working to a tighter budget.

    Condition reports matter here. Bark and carved works are sensitive to storage, so check the notes on each lot before bidding. Close date is still to be confirmed.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs weekly auctions from Annandale covering antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, collectables, paintings, and bric-a-brac, and this Asian art deaccession sits within that steady rhythm. Gallery deaccessions tend to bring out pieces with documented history, which matters if you care about where a lot has been.

    The catalogue spans decorative arts and collectables, so there is scope to pick up individual pieces rather than whole collections. Check the lot list for the specific items on offer and inspect where you can before bidding.

    Note the drop shipping arrangement: lots are sent to Lawsons, so factor that into your plans and confirm collection details with the auctioneer before the close.

  • Three NSW Heritage Plates

    Three NSW Heritage Plates

    Date TBC • Service NSW, NSW, AU • lawsons

    Three NSW heritage plates are on offer through Lawsons in Annandale, Sydney. The lots sit within a weekly auction that also covers antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, collectables and paintings, so there is plenty else to sift through alongside the plates.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs a weekly auction out of Annandale covering a broad sweep: antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, collectables, paintings and bric-a-brac. The three NSW heritage plates sit in the collectables category, a niche where condition and provenance do the talking.

    With a close date still to be confirmed, there is time to inspect and compare before committing. Buyers chasing heritage plates should check condition closely and look at what else is landing in the same sale, since mixed weekly auctions often throw up useful pairings across categories.

    Date TBC • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A broad mix of art and collectables is being listed through Lawsons in Annandale, Sydney. Expect paintings, decorative arts, jewellery, books and bric-a-brac across the weekly sale.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs these sales weekly from its Annandale rooms, and the catalogue reflects that pace: antique and modern furniture sitting alongside paintings, decorative arts, jewellery, books, wine and general bric-a-brac. It is a picker’s auction rather than a single-owner clearance, so the range moves from serious collectables to the sort of box lot that rewards a careful look.

    For art buyers, the paintings section is the obvious starting point, with decorative arts and jewellery offering a second angle if the canvases go hard. Books and wine round out the sale for anyone building a collection across categories rather than chasing one piece.

    Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you plan a trip to the rooms or a bid.

  • Furniture & Interiors

    Furniture & Interiors

    Date TBC • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    Antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery and decorative arts are all going to auction through Lawsons in Annandale, Sydney. The weekly sale covers paintings, collectables and bric-a-brac alongside the bigger pieces, so there is plenty to sort through.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs this sale weekly from its Annandale rooms, which means a steady turnover of stock across antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, paintings and collectables. The mix suits anyone furnishing a place on a budget as much as someone chasing a single piece for a collection.

    Because the catalogue spans bric-a-brac through to decorative arts, condition and provenance will vary lot to lot. Read the descriptions closely and check viewing times before bidding. Closing date is yet to be confirmed, so check the listing for updates.

  • Fine Decorative Arts

    Fine Decorative Arts

    Date TBC • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    More detail

    Lawsons runs these sales weekly from its Annandale rooms, which means the catalogue turns over constantly and the mix stays broad. Furniture spans antique through to modern, alongside jewellery, paintings and decorative arts pieces. Books and wine round out the listings, with collectables and bric-a-brac filling the gaps.

    For buyers, the appeal is the spread. You can chase a single decorative piece, a painting or a jewellery lot without wading through pages of unrelated stock. Weekly turnover also means fresh goods land regularly, so it pays to check each catalogue rather than assume you have seen it all.

    Closing date is yet to be confirmed. Check the listing for inspection times and the full lot breakdown before bidding.

    Trading cards and collectables are on offer through Lloyds Auctions in a multi-lot online sale closing 1 November. Pokemon fans get the 30th Celebration mini tin, booster packs and 10-packs of Mega Abyss Eye M5 and Storm Emeralda Eye M6 boosters, while sports collectors can chase sets of nine 1990-91 NBA Hoops Series 1 and Series 2, Skybox and Upper Deck cards, plus One Piece TCG sets including OP15 Adventure and OP-17 The World’s.

    More detail

    This is a multi-lot online auction run by Lloyds Auctions, so you can pick off individual lots rather than take a whole box. The card lineup splits neatly into three camps: Pokemon, NBA and One Piece.

    Pokemon collectors get the 30th Celebration mini tin and booster, plus 10-packs of Mega Abyss Eye M5 and Storm Emeralda Eye M6 boosters. The NBA side is sealed-era gear: sets of nine from 1990-91 Hoops Series 1 and Series 2, Skybox Series 1 and 2, and Upper Deck. One Piece buyers can chase sets of eight from OP15 Adventure and OP-17 The World’s.

    Lloyds runs these multi-category sales regularly, with vehicles, jewellery, plant and equipment and general goods also on the books. Check each lot listing for condition and postage before bidding.

    Antiques, Vintage & Interior Treasures

    Thu 5 Nov 2026 • Location TBC • 97 lots • Lloyds Auctions

    A spread of antiques, vintage pieces and interior decor is on offer through Lloyds Auctions, closing 5 November. Standouts include a cup-hilt rapier with a wire-wrapped grip, a Merrythought teddy bear pair from the Millennium range, a handcrafted model sailboat named "Sea Eagle", and a collection of vinyl LPs.

    More detail

    This is a genuine mixed bag for collectors and decorators, with 12-plus lots spanning glass, ceramics, metalware and memorabilia. The organic wave form glass bowl and the rope-netted glass fishing float sit alongside a reticulated ceramic vase decorated with birds and cherry blossom, so there’s plenty to work with if you’re styling a room or adding to a cabinet.

    The sharper lots for collectors are the cup-hilt rapier, an antique cast iron spherical weight with ring, and a cobalt blue decorative arts collection. China and tableware buyers get an Alfred Meakin England floral oval serving piece plus assorted white and gold porcelain tea items.

    Vinyl and soft-toy collectors aren’t left out either, with a record collection and the Merrythought bear pair both listed. Lloyds is running this as a multi-lot online auction, so check each listing for condition notes before you bid.

    Sun 8 Nov 2026 • Location TBC • 97 lots • Lloyds Auctions

    Gaming consoles and vintage comics are among the lots listed in this Lloyds Auctions online sale, closing 8 November. A PlayStation 4 with five games and a PS2 console sit alongside Panini UCLA cards, Buck Rogers Tip-Top Comics, Donald Duck’s "Sheriff of Bullet" and a Hurricane Hawk Annual No. 2.

    More detail

    This is a multi-lot online auction run by Lloyds Auctions, spanning vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods. The collectables and IT section is where the character is: retro gaming hardware and a solid run of vintage comics.

    Console buyers get a PS4 with five games included and a PS2 model, both practical pickups for a setup or a collection. The comic side leans hard on Buck Rogers, with a 25th Century AD Adventure Comic Book plus two multi-book Buck Rogers collections and a Tip-Top Comics run. Disney collectors have options too, including Walt Disney’s Donald Duck "Sheriff of Bullet," a five-book Golden Age collection and a broader vintage Disney lot. Hurricane Hawk turns up twice, with Annual No. 2 and a Tip-Top Comics collection.

  • Rare & Collectable Currency

    Rare & Collectable Currency

    Sun 8 Nov 2026 • Location TBC • 6 lots • Lloyds Auctions

    Six lots of rare and collectable Australian currency are being listed through Lloyds Auctions, with the auction closing on 8 November 2026. The line-up includes a Dansco Australia Florin Coin Album covering King Edward VII, a World Coin Library Australia Florin collection, and a 1981 Australian $200 Royal Wedding note.

    More detail

    This is a focused sale for anyone who collects Australian florins or pre-decimal currency more broadly. The Dansco Australia Florin Coin Album and The Australian Coin Album both centre on the florin and crown series, giving collectors a structured way to build or complete a set rather than chasing loose singles.

    The standout for note collectors is the 1981 Australian $200 Royal Wedding issue, a denomination that rarely surfaces in general auctions. The World Coin Library Australia Florin Collection adds another ready-made set to the mix, so there is scope here for both album collectors and those after specific pieces.

    Lloyds is running this as a multi-lot online auction, with the full lot list still to be confirmed closer to the close date. Worth checking back for the complete inventory before bidding opens.

  • Single Vendor Lifetime Collection

    Single Vendor Lifetime Collection

    Sat 14 Nov 2026 • Location TBC • 97 lots • Lloyds Auctions

    A single-vendor lifetime collection is listing through Lloyds Auctions, and the vehicle lineup reads like a private museum catalogue. Highlights include a 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible in red, a 1975 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV Coupe, a 1971 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super Biscione Edition, a 2004 Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa, plus Rolls Royce Silver Spirit and Silver Shadow II sedans, a 1956 Bentley S Type, and a 1992 Ford Falcon GLi with 199,542 km on the clock.

    More detail

    This is a genuine lifetime accumulation, not a dealer clearance. The lots span vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods, all from one vendor and closing 14 November 2026.

    The car list carries the weight: American cruisers like the 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible and an Edsel Citation sedan in cream and blue, European classics in the Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV and Giulia Super Biscione, and a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL W126 in maroon. British metal is well represented too, with a two-tone 1956 Bentley S Type and two Rolls Royce sedans.

    Beyond the garage, the jewellery and collectables categories give plenty to dig through, and the plant and equipment lots suit anyone after working gear rather than showpieces. Condition and mileage vary across the board, so check each lot listing before bidding.

  • The Ultimate Collection – Indian & Southeast Asian Modern Masterpieces

    The Ultimate Collection – Indian & Southeast Asian Modern Masterpieces

    Fri 20 Nov 2026 • Location TBC • 69 lots • Lloyds Auctions

    Twelve works by some of the biggest names in modern Indian and Southeast Asian art are on offer through Lloyds Auctions, closing 19 November. The lineup includes F.N. Souza, M.F. Husain, Sayeed Haider Raza, Jehangir Sabavala, Krishen Khanna, Manjit Bawa, N.S. Bendre and Tota Vaikuntam, with Husain’s *Horse* and *Ganga* among the standouts.

    More detail

    This is a serious single-owner collection rather than the usual mixed bag. Souza, Husain and Raza anchor the sale, and all three sit at the top of the Indian modern market. Sabavala appears twice, which gives bidders a choice of his distinctive muted landscapes rather than a single shot at one.

    Condition, provenance and estimate details sit with the individual lot pages, so read those before bidding. Works at this level are usually fought over by international buyers, which means the closing hours could move quickly.

    Lloyds runs this as one of several categories in a broader online sale, with vehicles, jewellery, plant and general goods also listed. If you have been priced out of this tier at the major houses, the format here is worth a look.

  • The Meteorite Collection - Expressions of Interest

    The Meteorite Collection – Expressions of Interest

    Fri 20 Nov 2026 • Location TBC • 29 lots • Lloyds Auctions

    A space rock collection is hitting the online auction block with Lloyds Auctions, closing 28 August 2026. All 12 lots are classified IAB iron meteorites, the kind that survive atmospheric entry and land heavy.

    More detail

    This is a straight-up run of iron meteorites, each one a solid chunk from beyond Earth. The IAB classification covers a group of magmatic and primitive iron types, often showing Widmanstätten patterns when cut and etched. That means serious collector appeal.

    If you are after a specimen for display, study, or resale, this auction delivers a clean dozen. No filler, no mixed lots. Lloyds runs the show online, so you bid from anywhere. Check each lot for weight and condition notes before the close.

  • Antiques, Art & Memorabilia Auction

    Antiques, Art & Memorabilia Auction

    Wed 4 Nov 2026 • ACT • 100 lots • AllBids

    A mixed lot of antiques, art and memorabilia is going under the hammer via allbids in the ACT, with more than a dozen lots on offer. Highlights include a vintage Galaxy Invader 1000 handheld game by Futuretronics, a limited-edition Sturmanskie Amphibia mechanical diver watch (234/500), and five vials of uncut Lightning Ridge opals.

    More detail

    The collectables side is strong here. The Galaxy Invader 1000 is a proper slice of late-70s gaming history, and the Sturmanskie Amphibia is a serious mechanical diver’s piece, not a fashion watch. Wrestling fans get a pair of vintage Nikolai Volkoff WWF figurines, while the Barbie lot includes boxed Teresa and Ken figures.

    Jewellery and accessories cover a fair spread: a 14ct yellow gold and smoky quartz ring in size O, a 925 sterling silver Siam brooch and earrings set at 19.56gms, plus a sterling hematite pendant on a 40cm chain alongside a multistrand cultured pearl wire necklace. There’s also a nine-lot collection of gold and silver tone necklaces.

    Pop culture odds and ends round it out. A vintage canvas Wonder Woman backpack, a Russell Super Coca-Cola yo-yo with its original spare string, and an unframed daybill poster for *Batteries Not Included* (a M.A.P.S. lithographic print) should draw a look. The opals are uncut, so they’re for someone who knows how to spot a stone’s potential. Closes 4 August.
