Inside This Week’s Antiques Auction Market – 53 Upcoming Sales inc Antique Furniture, Fine Art & Estate Jewellery

The clear drawcard here is the Death NYC trio, each a signed limited-edition graffiti pop art print. Death NYC is known for mashing up pop culture icons with a street art edge, so if you collect that style, this is a chance to grab multiple pieces in one go. They’ll suit a buyer looking to build a set rather than chase a single work.

The Pop Art "Graffiti Women" metal print is the other point of difference. Printed on metal gives it a slick, gallery-wall finish that standard paper prints don’t match, and it’s a solid option if you want something with a bit more physical presence.

With only six lots in the catalogue, this one will move quickly. Check the condition notes on each piece before bidding, especially for the prints, as signed editions can vary in quality and framing. Worth a look if you’re after something with a bit of visual punch for a home bar, office, or rumpus room.

This one’s for collectors who like variety. Alongside the expected canvas and board paintings, there’s a decent run of limited-edition prints, some with strong provenance notes that add a bit of history to the buy. Sculptural pieces and works on paper round out the mix, so it’s not just wall-hangers on offer.

If you’re after something with resale legs, the abstract and modernist lots look the pick of the bunch, but the figurative works carry their own appeal. Condition reports are available through Lawsons, and given their weekly turnover, they know how to keep the catalogue moving. Set aside time to inspect in person if you can, especially for the higher-value pieces. Bidding closes on 10 August, so pencil that in.

This is a tight, high-end collectables auction for anyone chasing certified stones without the retail jewellery mark-up. The first lot leads with a 1.21ct princess cut, graded VS1 and F colour, which is a solid combo for brilliance and value retention. The GIA certificate means you’re not guessing on the specs, and the baguette side stones add a clean, classic look.

The second ring is the one for purists: a 0.70ct round diamond graded D colour with VS1 clarity, which is about as colourless as it gets. It’s mounted in platinum with 16 F/VS stones around the band, totalling 0.24ct. Platinum settings are a plus for durability and resale appeal.

Both lots come with GIA certification, so the grading is independent and verifiable. The auction closes on 11 August 2026, and with only two lots, it’s a quick one. Check the Grays listing for current bid levels, and factor in buyer’s premium before you commit.

Lawsons’ weekly auction at Annandale pulls together the usual eclectic spread, but the art component is worth a closer look. Paintings sit alongside antique and modern furniture, with decorative arts and collectables filling out the catalogue. If you’re after a statement piece or a quick flip, the artwork is where the value tends to hide, especially when bidding stays quiet mid-week.

Beyond the canvas, the sale covers wine, jewellery, and books, so it’s a proper rummage rather than a single-category affair. Bric-a-brac lots can go cheap if you’re patient, and the furniture often suits anyone kitting out a rental or a reno on a budget. Check the lot photos before the close date, because condition varies and there’s no substitute for a good look. Bidding closes 12 August, so pencil it in.

These aren’t your everyday personalised plates. Heritage NSW plates from this era are prized for their original paint, pressed metal construction, and unbroken ownership history. The standout is the low-digit example, a format that’s become scarce in untouched condition. The consecutive pair adds serious appeal for anyone building a matched set, and the fact they’ve stayed in one family’s hands since new only boosts the story.

Lawsons’ weekly catalogue usually leans toward furniture and decorative arts, but this dedicated single-owner offering is a tight, focused lot list. Bidders should check the condition notes carefully, as original plates often carry surface wear that doesn’t diminish value but does affect grading. The drop-shipping arrangement means you’re buying the plates as-is, with no physical inspection on site, so factor in postage and insurance when setting your limit. If you’re chasing NSW heritage metal, this is a rare chance to grab three plates from one source without chasing multiple auctions.

This one leans heavily toward the decorative arts end of the market, with bronze work taking centre stage. Beyond the obvious sculptural pieces, the collection includes smaller art forms that suit display shelving, sideboards, or a dedicated gallery wall. Lawsons’ weekly sales regularly pull in a mixed crowd of dealers and private buyers, so the bidding on the better-condition bronzes should be competitive.

Look for pieces with clear patination and solid casting, as those tend to hold value and move quickly. If you’re after something for a renovation project or a gift with more substance than the usual run-of-the-mill decor, this catalogue is worth a scroll. The drop-shipping arrangement means you’ll need to factor in collection or freight from Lawsons’ Annandale premises, so check the pickup details before you commit.

Lawsons’ weekly Furniture & Interiors auction is a solid one-stop shop for anyone furnishing a place or flipping pieces. The catalogue spans classic timber sideboards and dining tables through to contemporary lounge suites, so there’s something for both period purists and modern minimalists.

Beyond the furniture, the collectables side is where the sharp shoppers tend to linger. Look for silver and jewellery lots, decorative ceramics, and glassware that often slip under the radar. Wine and book sections are worth a browse too, as they regularly throw up decent labels and first editions at prices that don’t reflect retail.

The auction closes Thursday 13 August, and given it’s a weekly format, stock turns over fast. If you’re after something specific, check the lot photos and condition reports before bidding. Annandale pickup is straightforward, but factor in transport for bulky items.

The Forester is the headline act here, a single-owner example from a deceased estate, which often means lower kms and a genuine service history. For buyers after a practical family wagon, this is about as straightforward a purchase as you’ll find at auction, no dealer games or trade-in padding.

Beyond the car, Lawsons’ weekly setup in Annandale pulls together antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, paintings, and general bric-a-brac. That mix gives the sale a bit of depth, so if you’re after a dining table, a decent wine lot, or something for the wall, it’s worth flicking through the full catalogue.

The auction closes 13 August 2026. Inspections and bidding details are on the Lawsons site, and given it’s a deceased estate, everything is sold as-is, so factor in a proper look before you bid.

Lawsons’ weekly offering this time around is a deep dive into mid-20th century taste, and it’s got a bit of everything for the serious collector or the casual reno warrior. The furniture lots lean heavily on the teak and rosewood era, so you’ll see Danish-influenced sideboards, slimline buffets, and coffee tables with that clean, tapered leg look. There’s also a decent run of chairs, from upholstered lounge pieces to timber-framed dining sets, which are always worth a look if you’re piecing together a room on a budget.

Beyond the big timber, the design category throws up a decent spread of lighting and smalls. Wall sconces, pendant shades, and table lamps from the 1950s and 60s pop up regularly, and they’re the kind of thing that’s easy to rewire and flip or keep for your own place. Ceramics and glassware round out the catalogue, with a few hand-thrown vases and pressed-glass pieces that add colour without the gallery price tag.

If you’re after something specific, it pays to scroll the full lot list and pick your targets, because the weekly format means mixed condition and mixed quality. Some pieces will show their age with scratches or veneer touch-ups, but that’s part of the game. The auction closes on 13 August, so give yourself time to sort through the catalogue and bid with a clear head.

Theodore Bruce, the old Sydney firm that’s been at it since 1878, has put together a fashion and collectables sale that’s heavy on statement footwear. This isn’t a grab-bag of tired office shoes. The lots are mostly European labels in good nick, with several patent leather and suede pieces that would’ve retailed for serious money new.

Standouts include the Louboutin “Pigalle” in black patent (EU37), a classic silhouette that holds value well, and the Gucci Marmont in red with fringe and goldtone GG hardware (EU34.5), which is more of a collector’s piece given the smaller sizing. The Salvatore Ferragamo “Ortensia” Mary Janes (6.5D) with geometric gold-tone block heels are another sharp pick, as are the Miu Miu bronze sequin pumps with that gold square-end stiletto heel (EU39).

If you’re after something with a bit more edge, the Givenchy woven leather peep-toe ankle boots (EU38) and the Jimmy Choo gunmetal sparkle platforms (EU36.5) both bring plenty of presence. Sizing skews towards the smaller end, so check the measurements carefully. The auction closes August 13, and with Theodore Bruce’s mix of consignment and unclaimed goods stock, condition can vary lot to lot, so it’s worth inspecting or asking for condition reports before bidding.

This isn’t your average op-shop rummage. The lot list reads like a boutique clearance rack, with sizes ranging from 6 to 14 and plenty of wearable, current-season labels. Standouts include the Acler Octavia mini dress (size 14), the Aje denim dress (size 8), and a strapless Acler evening gown in a size 6, which could clean up for a formal occasion on a budget. The Henne pinstripe suit, with an XS/S blazer and size 10 skirt, is a sharp pick for workwear, while the Unreal Fur faux fur jacket (size S) adds a bit of texture to the mix.

Theodore Bruce has been at it since 1878, so the process is well-oiled, but this catalogue leans heavily toward fashion and collectables rather than the usual tools or machinery. With 12+ lots and a close date of 15 August 2026, you’ve got time to sort through the sizes and decide if anything fits, literally. Check the condition notes on each lot before bidding, as unclaimed goods can show wear from transit or storage. If you’re chasing a label at a fraction of retail, this is a solid one to watch.

Lawsons’ regular rotation keeps the catalogue fresh, and this one pulls together the usual spread of household and collectable gear. Furniture is the backbone here, with older timber pieces sitting alongside more contemporary stuff, so there’s something for both period purists and those just chasing a solid dining table or sideboard. The books and wine sections are worth a look if you know your lots, and jewellery and decorative arts often slip through with thin bidding.

The paintings and bric-a-brac are where the quiet wins tend to hide. A decent frame or a piece of porcelain can go for pocket money if the room’s distracted by the big furniture lots. Buyers should check the condition notes on anything fragile, and remember collection is from Annandale, so factor in transport if you’re grabbing something bulky. It’s a weekly gig, so the turnover is quick, but that also means the catalogue’s always changing.

This one’s for the collector who likes their lots with character and a bit of dust. The Zehner Collection leans heavily into whimsical, handcrafted pieces, from carved folk art boats and figures to novelty nutcrackers and a Russian bear toy. The Staffordshire inkwell is the sort of piece that turns up in museum displays, while the Bushell’s tea tin with Australian native animals is a solid slice of local nostalgia.

There’s plenty of smaller stuff worth a look too. A Luna Park wooden block, vintage spinning tops and clickers, and a collection of apple-form trinket boxes all point to a lifetime of picking up oddities at markets and clearing sales. The mandolin music box, with its silver metal bird and geometrical inlay, should draw some attention from musical instrument collectors as much as folk art buffs.

Theodore Bruce, running since 1878, knows how to move this kind of material. With 12 lots listed and more expected, it’s a sale where you can grab something genuinely unusual without fighting a room full of dealers. Bidding closes on 16 August, so pencil it in and sort your lots early.

Lawsons’ weekly auction at Annandale covers a broad sweep, but this one leans into fine art and collectables. Paintings are the drawcard here, with a mix of antique and modern works that suit both serious collectors and anyone after a decent wall piece. The decorative arts section is worth a look too, with furniture, ceramics, and glass that often fly under the radar at general sales.

Books, wine, and jewellery round out the catalogue, so it’s not a one-trick pony. If you’re after something specific, the lot list is the place to start, but the real value tends to sit in the mixed lots where bidders overlook the odd piece. The sale closes on 17 August, so factor in time to inspect if you’re local. Lawsons run these weekly, so the turnover is steady, but the quality here looks a cut above the usual run.

Theodore Bruce, an outfit that’s been at it since 1878, has pulled together a single-owner collection that leans heavily on traditional East Asian craft. The lot list points to carved jade and hardstone items, cloisonné vases, and a run of blue-and-white porcelain, plus a few later Ming-style pieces that could draw interest from both decorators and serious collectors. There’s also a scattering of Buddhist bronzes and scholar’s desk objects, the kind of stuff that performs well when it’s fresh to market, not recycled from dealer stock.

Buyers should check the condition reports carefully, as private collections often mix museum-grade pieces with more worn, everyday wares. The sale closes on 17 August, and the auctioneer’s regular schedule means they’re well set up for online bidding, so you can sit in from anywhere. If you’re after a specific dynasty or material, get your questions in before the final day, because once the timer’s out, it’s done.

This one’s more than a few didgeridoos and dot paintings. Lawsons has pulled together an early collection, which in practical terms means pieces that predate the commercial Indigenous art boom. That’s where the value sits. Look for carved wooden artefacts, shields, boomerangs, and coolamons with genuine age and patina, alongside canvases and boards from artists working in the mid-20th century.

The catalogue leans heavily on desert and Top End material, so expect a mix of ochre pigments, natural fibres, and hardwood carving. Some lots carry provenance notes from earlier private collections, which adds a layer of confidence if you’re bidding blind. The weekly auction format at Lawsons means this is a timed online sale closing 17 August, so you’ll need to check the lot-by-lot photos for condition issues like cracks, insect damage, or old restoration.

If you’re after investment-grade pieces, focus on the older carved objects and any paintings attributed to named artists. If you’re decorating or starting a collection, the smaller artefacts and boards offer cheaper entry points. Either way, arrive with a price list in your head. Lawsons’ weekly sales move fast, and the good lots get chased hard.

Raffan Kelaher & Thomas are known for their regular specialty sales across fine and decorative arts, but this one leans into the eclectic end of the catalogue. Think sideboards and dressers with a bit of patina, kerosene lamps, pressed glass, and the kind of ceramics that turn up in grandma’s hutch. If you’re after something with character rather than showroom polish, this is where you’ll find it.

The close date is set for 18 August, so there’s time to inspect. Pick out the pieces with solid joinery and original finishes, those tend to hold value better than anything that’s been stripped and re-done. Also worth a look: any smalls like biscuit barrels, silver plate, or tools tucked in with the house lots. They often slip through with less attention.

Given rkta’s track record, the catalogue should be well photographed and described, but it pays to check condition notes carefully. Chips, cracks, and replaced handles are common in this sort of mixed sale, and the prices should reflect that. Bid based on what you can fix, not what you hope it is.

Theodore Bruce, an auction house dating back to 1878, has put together a collection that leans heavily on office and laboratory relics from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The typewriters alone span six decades of design, from the folding Corona No. 3 to the Swiss Hermes Baby and the West German Adler Gabriele 2000. For collectors, the 1881 Hall machine is the standout, one of the earliest commercially produced typewriters and a rare piece of American office history.

Beyond the keyboards, there’s a Victorian mahogany presentation set tied to the 1893 submarine cable connecting Australia and New Caledonia, plus two cast metal medallions of William III and Mary on a velvet plaque. The microscopes, one by C.Baker in London and another by Asa Tokyo, come in their original fitted timber boxes, which adds real value for buyers chasing complete sets.

Bidding closes 19 August, and with 12-plus lots, the sale is small enough to move quickly. If you’re after a working antique typewriter or a piece of colonial-era communications history, this is one to check early.

This is a regular Aalders sale, so the catalogue covers the usual ground for Sydney collectors and dealers. The strength is in the mix: you get fine art alongside serious antique furniture, which makes it a good hunting ground for both the decorator and the investor.

The jewellery section is worth a close look. Look for vintage and modern pieces, often with hallmarked silver and gold. On the decorative side, expect porcelain, glassware, and Asian works of art to appear. The antique furniture includes solid timber pieces, sideboards, and display cabinets that suit the period home.

If you are after a specific category, check the online catalogue early. These sales draw a crowd, and the good lots get spotted quickly. Bidding is straightforward through the online platform, with standard buyer’s premium applies.

Theodore Bruce, running since 1878, is putting up a tidy collectables auction that leans heavily into retro and modern console gaming. The standout is the Japanese PS3 titles, including Sengoku Basara 3, which are often harder to track down locally. There’s also a full Eye of Judgement set with the game, mat, 42 cards, and camera stand, which is a complete package for anyone wanting to try that PS3 camera-based card battler.

Beyond the consoles, the game lots are worth a look. The PSP bundle includes Kingdom Hearts, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy, and Tekken, while the PS2 lot has True Crime: Streets of LA among nine titles. PS4 players get Marvel’s Spider-Man and Dark Souls Remastered in a five-game lot. The Xbox mix spans original, 360, and One, so it’s a decent spread for collectors filling gaps or someone picking up a starter library.

Auction closes 20 August. Bidding is live now, and with 12+ lots, it’s a manageable list to work through. Check the photos for disc condition, especially on the older PSP and PS2 titles, and factor in the buyer’s premium if you’re chasing a bargain.

Theodore Bruce, an auction house that’s been at it since 1878, is putting up the Marion Blackwell AM Collection. This isn’t a grab-bag of odds and ends; it’s a curated group from one owner, which usually means better condition and provenance than a scattergun estate sale. The lots lean towards Aboriginal art, with paintings, carvings, and ceremonial pieces likely to draw interest from both seasoned collectors and first-timers looking for a quality entry point.

Key items to watch include larger acrylic works from desert communities and any early bark paintings, which tend to carry a premium when they’ve been held in a private collection for decades. There’s also a run of smaller artefacts, like boomerangs and coolamons, that could go for sensible money if you’re not chasing the headline lots.

The catalogue is live now, and the close date is 23 August 2026, so there’s time to do your homework. Check the condition reports carefully, especially on the older pieces, and factor in buyer’s premium before you bid. Perth pickup will be the main hurdle if you’re interstate, but for the right piece, it’s worth the freight.

These hat blocks are the real deal, the kind of solid timber forms used to shape and finish felt hats before the trade shifted offshore. For anyone into vintage industrial gear or period-accurate millinery, this is a chance to grab functional pieces with genuine provenance, not reproduction junk. The collection covers a spread of sizes and styles, so there’s likely something for both display and practical use.

Lawsons runs a tight weekly operation out of Annandale, mixing furniture, books, wine, and collectables, but this lot stands out for its niche appeal. If you’re after a single block or the whole set, check the condition notes and measure up your workspace before bidding. The auction closes on 26 August, so get your bids in early and factor in pickup from Sydney’s inner west.

John Yu AC was a prominent Sydney doctor and arts patron, and his collection reflects decades of sharp buying across cultures. The Chinese material is the backbone, with plenty of porcelain, jade, and scholar’s items that would slot straight into a serious collection. The African pieces are less common on the local market, so they’ll draw attention from dealers and private buyers alike.

The contemporary art section sits alongside the traditional stuff, which makes for a mixed catalogue that suits both the dedicated collector and someone furnishing a house with character. Theodore Bruce has been around since 1878, so they know how to run a tight sale, and Stanmore is easy to get to for inspection.

If you’re after something with provenance and a story, this one’s worth a look. The closing date is 30 August 2026, so there’s time to do your homework on the lots that matter. Check the catalogue for condition reports and any estimates before you bid.

John Yu AC was a paediatrician, former Chancellor of UNSW, and a man with famously eclectic taste. His collection reflects that: medical history sits alongside Chinese art, children’s literature, and architectural monographs, with plenty of crossover appeal for niche buyers. The standouts are likely to be the illustrated books and any limited print runs, where condition and provenance will push prices well past the usual secondhand shelf rate.

Theodore Bruce has been at this since 1878, so the cataloguing is tight and the viewing arrangements are straightforward. If you’re chasing a specific title, get in early to inspect condition, because this is a library built for use, not just display. Bidding closes on 30 August 2026, and the sheer volume of lots means there’s room to pick up bargains in less obvious categories, like medical texts or travel writing, before the big-ticket items heat up.

This sale goes beyond the usual run of cars. The 1963 EH Holden is a standout for anyone chasing early Aussie metal, while the 1974 Leyland Mini offers a more nimble classic. On two wheels, there is a 1981 Yamaha XS650 and a 1978 Honda CB400F, both with solid following.

The memorabilia side is worth a close look. Lots include a large collection of enamel signs, old service station clocks, and a stack of original workshop manuals. These items often outperform the vehicles on resale if you know what to look for.

Burns and Co run this from their Beresfield base, so it pays to check the inspection times if you are serious about a car. The auction closes on July 9, 2026. Get your bids in early.

Burns and Co are known for digging up decent classic and collectable cars, motorcycles, and the bits that go with them. This timed online sale pulls together a range of lots that should appeal to anyone restoring, racing, or just filling the shed. Expect the usual mix of project bikes, running classics, and parts that are hard to find locally.

Standout lots will likely be the vehicles, so check the photos and read the condition notes carefully. If you’re chasing memorabilia, there’s usually a few framed prints, signs, and workshop relics that pop up in these sales. Delivery is from Bayswater, so factor that into your bid if you’re not local.

Bidding closes on 23 July, so give yourself time to sort through the catalogue. Burns and Co run a tight ship, but it pays to register early and have your bids ready before the deadline. If you’ve got a specific project in mind, this is worth a look.

Burns and Co have built a name around classic and collectable vehicles, and this livestream auction leans hard into that territory. You’ll find automobilia and bike-related pieces, but the real draw is the broader memorabilia mixed in, which often throws up signage, badges, and workshop tools that don’t surface in a standard car sale.

If you’re chasing a specific marque or a particular era of motorsport, this is worth a dig through the catalogue. The Beresfield-based crew know how to present this stuff properly, and the livestream format means you can watch the action in real time from anywhere.

Bayswater is the pickup point, so factor in a trip east of Melbourne if you land something. Given the specialist nature of the vendor, condition varies lot to lot, so check the photos and any condition notes before bidding. The 23 July close date gives you a couple of weeks to sort your shortlist.

The Classics Collection sale is a classic Melbourne picker’s fixture, with viewing from 9am Thursday at the Highbury Road rooms. It’s a broad offering, so if you’re after anything from timber sideboards and dining sets to old books, ceramics or oddball bric-a-brac, there’s likely something worth a look.

Deceased estate lots tend to be where the value sits, and this catalogue looks no different. Keep an eye out for quality joinery and pre-1950s pieces, which usually outperform the general furniture lots. If you’re a dealer or just refurnishing on a budget, the retail stock section is worth a browse too.

Check the lot photos before you head in, and don’t be afraid to inspect on Thursday. The auction closes Saturday 15 August, so give yourself time to sort out bidding. It’s a regular sale, not a clearance, so prices should stay realistic.

This is a sale for serious design enthusiasts, not just furniture buyers. The standout is the Giacomo Balla ‘Balla’ folding screen for Gavina, a piece that bridges Futurist art and functional design. Also worth a close look is the Meta Memphis pink and black light panel by Johanna Grawunder, which brings a bold, late-80s edge to the collection.

The furniture list reads like a who’s who of postwar Italian manufacturing. The Afra & Tobia Scarpa ‘Erasmo’ sofa for B&B Italia is a classic of soft, sculptural comfort, while the Angelo Mangiarotti ‘Eros’ side table for Skipper shows his mastery of marble and clean geometry. The vintage Murano glass bottle by Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d’Arte adds a delicate, collectable counterpoint to the heavier timber and upholstered pieces.

Buyers should note this is a timed online auction closing on 17 August 2026, so there’s no live bidding frenzy, just a deadline. Check condition reports where available, as vintage Italian pieces often show wear from decades of use. The Luciano Bertoncini ‘Gronda’ mirrored coat rack for Elco and the Kazuhide Takahama ‘Bramante’ sideboard for Simon Gavina are the sort of lots that draw competitive bids from dealers, so set your own limit before the final day.

This is a specialist timepiece sale that leans heavily into Victorian and Edwardian craftsmanship. The standout is the Waltham chronograph, a complicated movement with split-seconds functionality that collectors chase. Also worth a close look: the Plojoux Geneve from circa 1870 and the Rotherhams London examples, both in 18ct gold hunting cases.

A rare Tasmanian connection appears with an 18ct gold openface pocket watch retailed by J Sparrow of Launceston, circa 1880. Lady buyers are not forgotten, with a jewelled openface pendant watch in 18ct gold from around 1905. The auction runs until 17 August 2026. Inspection is recommended for anyone serious about the condition of these antique movements.

Leonard Joel’s South Yarra specialists have pulled together a tight 12-plus lot sale that leans heavily on the big European houses. The Hermès pieces are the headline act: the Birkin 35 and the Kelly 32 both carry serious resale weight, and the Cartier Trinity top handle handbag adds a solid hard-luxury option. The vintage vanity trunk from Cartier is the sort of piece that turns up once a season, so expect some competitive bidding there.

For buyers looking past the obvious, the Louis Vuitton Noé monogram canvas pouch and the Rossmore clutch are practical entry points, while the Prada large wallet and Chanel WILD STITCH Surpique handbag round out the mix. The Gucci vintage silk scarf is a nice add-on lot for a lower spend. Condition is always the catch with pre-owned luxury, so check the images carefully before you commit. Bidding closes 18 August, and with the auctioneer’s track record in this category, the later hours will likely see the sharpest movement.

This one leans traditional, so if you’re after repro junk or flat-pack modern, look elsewhere. The furniture list reads like a proper house clearance: mahogany dining tables, cedar chests, and the kind of sideboards that need two blokes and a trailer. Condition varies, but that’s where the value sits for anyone willing to do a bit of restoration.

The art section is worth a browse, with Australian paintings that could punch above their estimate if the right bidders show up. Asian antiques are the wildcard, often slipping through when the crowd is focused on the furniture. Check the photos carefully for damage, particularly on veneers and porcelain, and factor in pickup from Abbotsford before you commit. Sale closes 26 August, so give yourself time to inspect if you’re local.

Deutscher and Hackett is running this one from Melbourne, and it’s a serious sale for anyone collecting Australian or international art. The catalogue leans on established names and secondary-market staples, so there’s real depth for buyers looking beyond the usual run-of-the-mill listings. Paddington-based, but the auction itself is online, closing 26 August.

Key lots span paintings, works on paper, and sculpture, with a focus on Australian modern and contemporary pieces. If you’re after something with provenance or a solid exhibition history, this is where you’ll find it. The international component adds a different flavour, but the local material is the backbone of the sale.

For buyers, the usual advice applies: check the condition reports and provenance notes before bidding. Deutscher and Hackett’s cataloguing is generally tight, so the estimates are worth taking seriously. If you’re chasing a specific artist or period, this is a sale to work through properly, not just skim.

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.

This is a proper photographer’s estate sale, not a random box of junk. Tom Hellwege was a serious collector, so the lots span early plate cameras through to mid-20th century rangefinders and SLRs. The camera bodies alone include sought-after Leica M-series and Hasselblad 500 models, plus a stack of German and Japanese glass.

Beyond the cameras, the collection includes period flash units, tripods, developing tanks, and enlargers. There are also ephemera items like original manuals, catalogues, and signed prints. Condition will vary, but Hellwege was a known curator of his gear. If you shoot film or restore vintage photo equipment, this is the sale to watch.

Buyers should check the listing for the exact close date, as it is yet to be confirmed. Viewing details will likely be posted closer to the sale.

This is the Spencer Sandilands Collection, a deep trove of Australian printed material and maritime history assembled over decades. The strength is in the books and maps: early Australian exploration narratives, rare atlases, and hand-drawn charts from the age of sail. Collectors of Pacific voyages and Antarctic expeditions will find plenty to chase.

The lot list also leans into maritime artefacts, including ship models, navigational instruments, and logbooks. If you deal in Australian or nautical ephemera, this is a targeted sale worth watching. The close date is yet to be confirmed, so keep an eye on the listing for the countdown.

The weekly antiques sale has a bit of everything, but the headline piece is the Norman Lindsay (1879-1969) ‘Lady and Parrot’ 1918 reproduction lithograph, titled and dated to the lower margin and presented in very good framed condition. For sewing machine collectors, the White (USA) portable from c.1915 is a solid find, complete with its manual side-wheel hand crank, ornate gold decals, and a timber cabinet case that includes a velvet lined box of accessories and parts. It’s untested, so factor that in.

Fashion-wise, the Moschino ‘Cheap and Chic’ blazer with a World Cup soccer print is a fun one, and it comes with a pair of Toffeln soccer ball slide shoes. There are minor stains on the blazer and some tackiness to the shoe soles, but they’re wearable. On the homewares side, a Murano style green glass basket, a Royal Albert ‘Patricia’ figurine with its original booklet, and a limited edition Royal Doulton Bramley Hedge piece (numbered 0275 of 2000) with a certificate of authenticity are all worth a look.

Buyers should note the uranium glass items: the Skrdlovice bowl is chipped with the detached piece present, while the Anchor Hocking sherbet is intact. Also, the cast iron cobbler’s anvils are heavy, so bring a trolley and someone to help lift. The porcelain ceiling pendant light is untested, and the Imperial 80 typewriter has a stiff action, so treat those as projects or parts.

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.

This one’s a proper mixed-bag auction, the kind where you can grab a pre-decimal coin set, a military medal group, or a decent piece of studio pottery without fighting a room full of dealers. AAAC runs these specialist and general collectible sales regularly, and the volume here means the bidding tends to stay realistic until the last minute.

The standout lots will be the coins and militaria, but the art and stamps sections are worth a look too, especially if you’re chasing something with a bit of history rather than a quick flip. Jewellery lots often slip under the radar in these mixed sales, so check the images carefully for hallmarks and stone quality.

Buyers should register early with AAAC and have their payment details sorted, as settlement is typically quick. Pickup is from Albion, so factor that in if you’re bidding from interstate. With 550 lots, the auction will run for a while, so expect the pace to pick up as the catalogue moves through the less flashy items.

This is a proper estate-style cleanout, not a grab bag of junk. The jewellery lots lean heavily on 14K and 9K gold settings with real stones, so expect competitive bidding on the higher-carat pieces. The Andamooka opal is the headline act, but the Art Deco-inspired diamond ring and the dragon claw sunstone pendant show the range goes beyond the obvious.

Beyond the sparkle, there’s a pendant pocket watch and an antique stamp seal, which should pull in collectors who aren’t just after gold weight. The rose gold sapphire piece is a smart pick if you’re looking for something wearable rather than purely investment-grade. Check the condition notes carefully on the antique lots, as age-related wear is likely on the brooch and seal.

Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online auction with a close date of 15 August 2026. Categories extend to vehicles and plant equipment, but this catalogue is squarely aimed at jewellery buyers and collectors. Bidding is straightforward through their platform, so register early and decide your limit on the opal before the final day.

The Pokemon side is the main draw here. You’ve got sealed Vivid Voltage boosters, which are getting harder to find at a reasonable price, plus a run of Japanese EX cards that collectors tend to chase hard. There’s also a complete binder portfolio in the mix, so if you’re after a ready-made collection rather than picking through loose lots, that’s your best bet.

The basketball cards are pure nostalgia, early 90s Upper Deck from the golden era of the hobby. The 1991-92 edition is the one that kicked off the modern card boom, and the All-Star set from ’93 is a solid standalone piece. With 12+ lots on offer, it’s a tight, focused auction, no messing about with unrelated gear. Bid according to condition, and check the photos carefully, as bulk lots can vary.

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.
