    Next Level Collectors Auction Inc. The “Scot Copping Collection” Part 1

    Wed 23 Sep 2026 | Auctioneer: burns | Lots: 832 | Location: Delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater. – Visit Auction

    A massive single-owner collection of classic and collectable gear is being split up across 832 lots, delivered from Bayswater in Victoria’s east. Burns and Co are handling the Scot Copping Collection Part 1, with the catalogue covering classic cars, motorcycles and memorabilia for collectors who know what they’re looking at.

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.

  • Next Level Collectors Auction Inc. The “Scot Copping Collection” Part 1

    Next Level Collectors Auction Inc. The “Scot Copping Collection” Part 1

    Wed 23 Sep 2026 • Delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater. • 832 lots • burns

    A massive single-owner collection of classic and collectable gear is being split up across 832 lots, delivered from Bayswater in Victoria’s east. Burns and Co are handling the Scot Copping Collection Part 1, with the catalogue covering classic cars, motorcycles and memorabilia for collectors who know what they’re looking at.

    More detail

    This is the first part of the Scot Copping Collection, a significant single-owner holding being dispersed by Burns and Co. The auctioneer specialises in classic and collectable cars, motorcycles, memorabilia and significant collections, and that focus shows in the scale here: 832 lots in one hit.

    Lots are delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater, so inspect the delivery details before bidding. The catalogue spans collectables, with plenty of scope for collectors chasing parts, projects and display pieces rather than just complete vehicles.

    Bidding closes 23 September 2026. With this many lots in a single collection, there’s room to pick and choose rather than fight over one headline item.

  • Model Cars, Toys & Collectables Timed Online Auction

    Model Cars, Toys & Collectables Timed Online Auction

    Thu 15 Oct 2026 • Timed Online Auction. Delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater. • burns

    A model car and toy collection is on the block via Burns and Co, closing 21 September. Lot list spans diecast and collectable toys from the Bayswater delivery point, so check the catalogue for what’s actually in there.

    More detail

    Burns and Co built their name on classic and collectable cars, motorcycles and memorabilia, and this timed online auction pulls from that same world. The lots are model cars, toys and collectables, delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater.

    It’s a timed format, so bids run until close on 21 September rather than a live gavel. The full lot list is the place to look for specific makes and models.

    Worth a look if you collect diecast or vintage toys and want to bid at your own pace.

  • Classics Collection October No.2760

    Classics Collection October No.2760

    Sat 17 Oct 2026 • Box Hill VIC • abbeysauctions

    Classic collectables are on offer at Abbeys Auctions in Box Hill, with a catalogue covering antiques, curios and estate items. The October sale pulls together furniture, retail stock and general deceased estate gear across a single catalogue.

    More detail

    Abbeys Auctions runs regular public sales from its Box Hill rooms, and this October instalment is another mixed bag of antiques, furniture, retail stock and curios. Deceased estate lots sit alongside general collectables, so the range swings from practical furniture to the sort of small curios that reward a close look at the catalogue.

    Estate sales like this one tend to scatter the good stuff through the list rather than bunching it up front, so it pays to read every lot before bidding. Box Hill is easy to reach from most of Melbourne’s east, and Abbeys holds these sales often enough that regulars know the drill.

  • Elegance: An Auction Of The Finest The 18th & 19th Centuries Had To Offer

    Elegance: An Auction Of The Finest The 18th & 19th Centuries Had To Offer

    Sun 18 Oct 2026 • Abbotsford • christianmccann

    Antique furniture, Australian art and Asian antiques are all going to auction through Christian McCann Auctions in Abbotsford, Victoria. The catalogue spans the 18th and 19th centuries, with mahogany and walnut pieces, colonial-era paintings and a solid run of Chinese and Japanese ceramics and bronzes.

    More detail

    This is a single-vendor style sale built around period furniture, with the 18th and 19th centuries doing the heavy lifting. Expect mahogany and walnut case goods, dining suites, occasional tables and the kind of pieces that usually carry a hefty retail ticket in Melbourne’s antique shops.

    Australian art sits alongside the furniture, and the Asian section covers ceramics, bronzes and decorative items. Condition reports matter here, so ask before you bid on anything with veneer or restoration.

    Christian McCann runs this one out of Richmond, with the sale closing 18 October 2026. Inspections are the smart move if you want to separate the genuine period pieces from the later reproductions.

  • Works from the Charles Blackman Estate

    Works from the Charles Blackman Estate

    Thu 22 Oct 2026 • Timed Online Auction (Melbourne) • 132 lots • leonardjoel

    A collection of works from the Charles Blackman estate is being offered through Leonard Joel in Melbourne, with pieces spanning six decades of the artist’s career. Standouts include the large 1974 oil "Steam Train" at 137 x 213cm, a 1988 "Constellation Pegasus" in mixed media, and several bronze powder coloured sculptures including "Seated Cat at the Window" and "Looking Out".

    More detail

    Blackman was one of Australia’s most recognised modernists, and this estate sale covers a serious range of his output. The 1974 oil "Steam Train" is the biggest piece on offer at 137 x 213cm, and there are three bronze powder coloured sculptures in the mix: "Seated Cat at the Window" (ed. 2/9), "Looking Out" (ed. 3/9), and "Face and Hand" (ed. 5/9). Charcoal and mixed media works round out the catalogue, including "Constellation Crab" and "Constellation Pegasus" from 1988, "Dream Girl" from 1997, and "Cathédral Engloutié" from around 1982.

    The sale runs as a timed online auction through Leonard Joel in South Yarra, closing 22 October 2026. Twelve or more lots in total, covering household, art, and collectables categories.

  • Important Chinese & Asian Art

    Important Chinese & Asian Art

    Sun 25 Oct 2026 • Hawthorn • 311 lots • leonardjoel

    A strong run of Chinese and Asian art is on offer through Leonard Joel in Hawthorn, with bidding closing 25 October. Standouts include a rare imperial transparent green glass ‘chrysanthemum’ dish with a Qianlong incised mark, a fine celadon glazed ‘lobed’ vase, and a rare agate bowl possibly of the Qianlong period.

    More detail

    This sale leans heavily on Qing dynasty porcelain and glass, with several pieces carrying reign marks that will draw serious attention. The imperial transparent green glass ‘chrysanthemum’ dish stands out for its incised Qianlong four-character mark and period attribution, while the agate bowl and the celadon ‘lobed’ vase both carry Qianlong marks and possible period status. Earlier material is represented too, including two 17th century blue and white bowls from the Shunzhi/Kangxi and Transitional periods.

    Later Qing wares round out the catalogue: a pair of famille rose dragon dishes with a Qianlong mark from the Guangxu period, a yellow-glazed bowl and a white-glazed anhua ‘dragon’ stem-cup, both with Guangxu six-character marks and of the period. A large 18th century Yixing jun glaze vase and a celadon ice-crackle bottle vase add range beyond the mark-and-period pieces.

    Condition reports and provenance matter more than ever at this level, so request them before bidding. Leonard Joel runs these specialist sales regularly from South Yarra, and the Hawthorn location puts this one within easy reach for Melbourne buyers.

  • Arts of Asia

    Arts of Asia

    Mon 26 Oct 2026 • Timed Online Auction (Melbourne) • 167 lots • leonardjoel

    A strong run of Qing dynasty snuff bottles is on offer through Leonard Joel’s Arts of Asia timed sale, closing 26 October. Highlights include a cinnabar lacquer bottle, three white jade examples, a famille rose piece with a Qianlong mark, a falangcai enamel glass bottle, plus amber, turquoise, agate, horn and overlay glass lots, and a silver abstinence plaque to round it out.

    More detail

    Timed online sales suit anyone who wants to bid without sitting through a live room, and this one runs out of Leonard Joel’s South Yarra rooms in Melbourne. The catalogue leans hard into snuff bottles, with Qing dynasty pieces (1644 to 1911) making up nearly the whole list. That means jade, amber, turquoise, agate, horn and glass across single lots and small groups, so there is room to chase one standout or build a shelf.

    Watch the marked pieces. The famille rose bottle carries a Qianlong mark, and the falangcai enamel glass bottle does too, which tends to pull attention. The cinnabar lacquer from the 19th century and the carved horn bottle are the other obvious standouts. Groups of three, like the white jade and agate sets, give you a way to spread a bid across multiple bottles.

    The silver abstinence plaque is the odd one out and worth a look if you collect beyond bottles. With 12 or more lots and a close date of 26 October 2026, there is time to research marks and condition before bidding. Ask for condition reports early on the jade and glass, since chips and hairlines are the usual killers on this material.

  • 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.

  • Fine Art

    Fine Art

    Tue 16 Mar 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.

  • THE SPENCER SANDILANDS COLLECTION

    THE SPENCER SANDILANDS COLLECTION

    Date TBC • Armadale VIC • leski

    Rare books, maps, and maritime collectables from a lifetime of collecting are hitting the auction block at Leski in Armadale VIC. Expect original charts, Australian literary first editions, and nautical ephemera that rarely comes to market.

    More detail

    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.

    More detail

    Lloyds has put together a multi-lot online sale that pulls from several categories at once. Alongside the trading cards and gaming items, the catalogue runs into IT equipment, jewellery, vehicles, plant and general goods, so there is plenty to scroll through beyond the headline lots.

    The collectables and gaming section is the drawcard here. Card lots, console and gaming gear sit alongside broader IT equipment, which suits anyone chasing parts, spares or a cheap upgrade.

    Bidding closes 11 October 2026. Inspect the lot list early, check condition notes on individual items, and factor in pickup or freight before you commit.

  • Rare & Collectable Currency

    More detail

    This Lloyds Auctions sale pulls together rare and collectable currency as part of a multi-lot online event. The catalogue spans vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods, so there is plenty to sort through beyond the notes and coins.

    Currency lots tend to reward buyers who know their grades and mintages. Check the images and descriptions closely before bidding, and factor in postage if you are not local to the pickup point.

    Bidding runs online through to the 11 October close.

  • The Ultimate Bathurst & Supercar Collection

    The Ultimate Bathurst & Supercar Collection

    Mon 12 Oct 2026 • Location TBC • Lloyds Auctions

    More detail

    For anyone who follows the mountain, the Bathurst lots are the ones to watch. Supercar memorabilia rounds out the theme, and the broader categories mean there is plenty beyond the headline collection if you are chasing something else.

    It is an online sale, so inspect the lot details and photos before bidding. With this many categories under one roof, condition and provenance will vary lot to lot.

  • Antiques, Vintage & Interior Treasures

    Antiques, Vintage & Interior Treasures

    Thu 15 Oct 2026 • Location TBC • Lloyds Auctions

    Antiques, vintage pieces and interior treasures are on the block in an online auction from Lloyds. Expect estate jewellery, collectables and character furniture among the lots, with bidding open until 15 October.

    More detail

    This Lloyds Auctions sale pulls together a broad mix: antiques, vintage goods and interior pieces sit alongside jewellery and general household items. It suits buyers chasing one-off decor rather than bulk stock.

    The spread is wide, so there is room to pick off individual lots. Collectables and estate jewellery tend to draw the most attention in sales like this, while furniture and larger interior pieces often go quieter and cheaper.

    Bidding runs online and closes 15 October. Check each listing for condition and pickup details before you commit.

  • The Living Estate of Mr Darryn Lyons - Estate Antiques, Books, & Ornaments

    The Living Estate of Mr Darryn Lyons – Estate Antiques, Books, & Ornaments

    Thu 29 Oct 2026 • Location TBC • 98 lots • Lloyds Auctions

    Antique porcelain, bronze sculpture and decorative ornaments from the estate of Mr Darryn Lyons are being offered through Lloyds Auctions in a 12+ lot online sale closing 29 October. Standouts include a neoclassical cobalt blue porcelain urn with gilt bronze mounts, a Chinese bronze covered urn with foo dog finial, a famille jaune vase, a bronze figurative sculpture of a kneeling female, and an antique terrestrial globe on a turned wooden base.

    More detail

    This is the living estate of Mr Darryn Lyons, and the decorative arts on offer reflect a serious collector’s eye. The porcelain alone spans several traditions: neoclassical cobalt blue urns with gilt bronze mounts, a covered urn with bronze mounts circa unknown, a Chinese yellow ground urn with bronze fittings, and a famille jaune vase with bronze mounts. Each piece carries the kind of ornamentation that lifts a room.

    Bronze features heavily beyond the urns. There is a classical ewer with ornamental detailing, a figurative sculpture of a kneeling female, and a portrait head sculpture on a wooden base. A pair of ornate brass and porcelain candlesticks, one Victorian, add a lighter note. An antique terrestrial globe on a turned wooden base rounds out the catalogue for those who like their antiques functional as well as decorative.

    Lloyds is running this as a multi-lot online auction, with categories across vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods. The 12+ lots here sit within the collectables and household stream. Closing date is 29 October 2026. Inspect the lot list closely, condition reports matter on bronze and porcelain of this age.

  • 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.

  • Street Art And Collectibles

    Street Art And Collectibles

    Sun 11 Oct 2026 • NSW • 31 lots • Grays Online

    A signed run of Death NYC graffiti pop art prints is the headline act in a 31-lot collectables auction through Grays in NSW. The bulk of the catalogue is limited edition Death NYC material, each print signed by the artist.

    More detail

    Death NYC built a following by mashing street art sensibilities with pop culture iconography, and this auction leans hard into that signature style. Four featured lots are all limited edition signed graffiti pop art prints, giving collectors a shot at multiple pieces from the same artist in one hit.

    The remaining lots round out the 31 on offer, so there is scope to pick up more than just the headline prints. Close date is still TBC, so check the listing for updates before you commit.

  • Art | October

    Art | October

    Mon 12 Oct 2026 • Marrickville, NSW, AU • 151 lots • theodorebruce

    A wide range of Australian and international art is on offer through Theodore Bruce in Marrickville, NSW. The 12-lot catalogue includes works by Kathleen Petyarre, Geoffrey Dyer, Nicholas Epoff, Jake Walker and Raffaele Frigerio, plus an etching by William Francis Robinson and a pastel by Margaret Moir Southwell Woodward.

    More detail

    Theodore Bruce has been running auctions since 1878, and this October art sale leans on that depth. Standouts include Kathleen Petyarre’s Bush Medicine Plant, a strong example of the Anmatyerre artist’s acrylic work, and Geoffrey Dyer’s Lake Country on arches paper. Nicholas Epoff’s 1973 acrylic Landing and Jake Walker’s No. 32 from 2017 cover very different corners of Australian painting, while Raffaele Frigerio’s Portrait of a Man Smoking a Pipe brings a slice of early 20th century Italian portraiture.

    There’s decent spread in medium and price point here. An etching from William Francis Robinson’s Springbrook series, a Benjamin Landara watercolour of Central Australia, and a Margaret Moir Southwell Woodward pastel and crayon work from 1990 sit alongside oils from Jeffrey T. Makin and Carl Stringfellow. A piece in the style of Joseph Stannard rounds out the lots.

    Worth noting for anyone chasing Australian Post unclaimed goods or broader collectables: Theodore Bruce runs those auctions regularly, so this catalogue is a good chance to get a feel for how the house lists art before bidding on the bigger sales.

  • Contemporary Art

    Contemporary Art

    Mon 12 Oct 2026 • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    Contemporary art is the drawcard at this Lawsons auction in Annandale, Sydney. Works on the block include paintings and collectables, sitting alongside the usual mix of decorative arts.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs weekly sales out of Annandale, and this one leads with contemporary art. Paintings sit alongside collectables and decorative arts, so there is plenty to sift through beyond the headline category.

    The broader catalogue spans antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery and bric-a-brac. That mix suits buyers chasing individual pieces rather than a single collection.

    Closing 12 October 2026.

  • Bellevue Hill Home Contents

    Bellevue Hill Home Contents

    Mon 12 Oct 2026 • Bellevue Hill, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A Bellevue Hill home contents auction is listing antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, paintings and bric-a-brac through Lawsons in Annandale, NSW. Standout pieces include framed paintings, boxed jewellery, wine lots and assorted collectables, all closing 12 October 2026.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs weekly auctions out of Annandale covering estate contents and household accumulations, and this Bellevue Hill listing fits the mould: a broad spread across antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, collectables, paintings and general bric-a-brac. It suits buyers chasing one good piece rather than a single-category sale.

    The jewellery and wine lots are worth watching if you know your values, and the paintings and decorative arts give room to pick up something with character. Furniture spans both antique and modern, so there is scope whether you are refurnishing or reselling.

    Everything closes 12 October 2026. Inspect before bidding and factor in pickup from the winning bidder’s side.

  • Dima Handcrafted Engagement Ring Collection

    More detail

    The 0.87ct emerald cut runs VS2/G and carries six round diamonds at 0.10ct total, a clean, step-cut look that suits a classic setting. At the other end, a 1.00ct round brilliant in light brownish yellow (P2) sits with 30 smaller rounds at 0.50ct, and a 0.54ct round (I1, light brown) pairs with two marquise cuts at 0.08ct.

    Seven lots, all diamond, all engagement-ready. Grading is disclosed on every piece, so you know exactly what you’re bidding on before the hammer falls.

    Tue 13 Oct 2026 • Timed Online Auction (Sydney) • 69 lots • leonardjoel

    A dozen works from Tim Olsen’s personal collection are being offered through Leonard Joel in a timed online auction out of Sydney. Names on the list include David Bromley, Damien Moss, Donald Laycock, Charlie Sheard, TV Moore, Robert Malherbe, Marie Hagerty, Euan Macleod, Luke Sciberras, Melinda Harper and Belynda Henry, with standout pieces like Bromley’s Belinda with Bubbles and Moore’s MR Flowers.

    More detail

    This is a single-owner sale, which usually means one person’s taste rather than a dealer’s mix, and Tim Olsen’s eye runs to serious contemporary Australian names. The lots span four decades, from Donald Laycock’s The Birds of Torremolinas (1967) through to Belynda Henry’s The Sunny Road (2019), so there is room to chase an early work or a recent one.

    Scale varies widely. Bromley’s Belinda with Bubbles is the big one at 183 x 152cm in acrylic and metal leaf, matched in size by Melinda Harper’s Untitled #11 and Damien Moss’s Afterglow #5, both oil on canvas at 122 x 122cm. Smaller entries include Luke Sciberras’s Cobar Study at just 20 x 20cm and Euan Macleod’s Sunset Haberfield at 38 x 51cm, handy if wall space or budget is tight.

    Condition and framing details are listed per lot, with several works framed and a few unframed, so check each entry before bidding. The auction runs timed and closes 13 October 2026.

  • Fine Art: The John Boyle Collection, QLD

    Fine Art: The John Boyle Collection, QLD

    Tue 13 Oct 2026 • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A collection of fine art and collectables from the John Boyle estate is being offered through Lawsons in Annandale, NSW. The sale features paintings, decorative arts, books, jewellery, and antique furniture, with bidding open until 13 October.

    More detail

    This auction centres on the John Boyle Collection, a QLD-held assortment of fine art and collectables now consigned to Lawsons in Annandale. Alongside paintings, expect a broad mix of decorative arts, books, jewellery, and both antique and modern furniture. It is the kind of sale where estate pieces sit next to everyday bric-a-brac, so there is scope to find value across several categories rather than just one.

    Lawsons runs weekly auctions from its Annandale rooms, and this collection fits that mould: a single-owner provenance with enough variety to reward a careful look through the catalogue. Buyers in QLD should note the sale is administered from Sydney, so factor in freight or pickup arrangements before bidding closes on 13 October.

  • Curated Fine Wine Collection :: Featuring Champagne

    Curated Fine Wine Collection :: Featuring Champagne

    Tue 13 Oct 2026 • NSW • 170 lots • Grays Online

    A 170-lot fine wine collection is on offer through Grays in NSW, headlined by serious Champagne. Standouts include Krug Grande Cuvée, Dom Pérignon 2013, a 2015 Dom Pérignon Altum Villare Brut Millésime, and a 1985 Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial.

    More detail

    Grays has put together 170 lots of curated fine wine, and the Champagne end of the catalogue is where the weight sits. Krug Grande Cuvée leads the charge, alongside Dom Pérignon in two forms: the 2013 vintage and a 2015 Altum Villare Brut Millésime. For anyone chasing something with real bottle age, there’s a 1985 Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial in the mix.

    The spread runs across vintages and houses rather than one producer’s back catalogue, so there’s room to bid on a single trophy bottle or build out a mixed parcel. Champagne dominates the featured lots, but with 170 on the block there’s depth beyond the headline names.

    Close date is still TBC, so keep tabs on the listing for timing. Worth a look if you know your vintages and want to bid against other collectors rather than retail.

  • Antique & Decorative Arts | October

    Antique & Decorative Arts | October

    Wed 14 Oct 2026 • Marrickville, NSW, AU • 157 lots • theodorebruce

    A solid run of Portuguese silver leads this Marrickville auction, with grade 833 pieces including a footed salva tray with pierced rim and engraved floral centre, a heavily embossed basket showing cupids in a garden, plus sugar bowls, trinket boxes and an ashtray. Also in the mix: a William IV sterling Kings Pattern cutlery set by Mary Chawner, London 1835, a rare Apsley Pellatt & Co. ‘Captain James Cook’ crystal scent bottle from around 1820, and an Ottoman Turkish silver cup with a bird figural handle.

    More detail

    Theodore Bruce has been running sales since 1878, and this October antique and decorative arts auction leans hard into silver. The Portuguese group is the standout, all grade 833 and all heavily decorated. The footed salva tray carries a pierced rim around a central engraved floral motif, while the embossed basket is the showpiece, centred on cupids playing in a garden with floral and scroll piercing around the edge. Smaller pieces include a scalloped sugar bowl with applied C scroll and shell detail, two round trinket boxes with embossed floral work, and a scroll and shell ashtray.

    Beyond the Portuguese silver there is a William IV sterling Kings Pattern cutlery set, London 1835, made by Mary Chawner, and a sterling christening cup hallmarked Sheffield 1996 by Carr’s of Sheffield Ltd. Collectors of glass should note the Apsley Pellatt & Co. ‘Captain James Cook’ crystal scent bottle, dated around 1820.

    Two quirkier lots round out the catalogue: an Ottoman Turkish silver cup with a bird figural handle and chased geometrical rim, marked to the base, and a silver "Cin Cin Cinzano" coaster marked 800, paired with a silver plate "Cinzano" tastevin. The sale closes 14 October.

  • NSW Heritage plate 166 - Under instruction from the Penfold family of W.C. Penfold & Co.

    NSW Heritage plate 166 – Under instruction from the Penfold family of W.C. Penfold & Co.

    Wed 14 Oct 2026 • Service NSW, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A genuine two-digit NSW Heritage number plate, 166, is being offered by Lawsons out of Annandale in Sydney’s inner west. The plate comes from the Penfold family, of W.C. Penfold & Co. publishing fame, and two-digit Heritage plates almost never come to market.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs weekly sales out of Annandale covering furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, paintings and bric-a-brac, and this plate sits in the collectables category alongside that mix. It is being sold under instruction from the Penfold family, the name behind W.C. Penfold & Co., the Sydney publishing and stationery firm that ran from the 1830s into the twentieth century. Provenance like that does not turn up often on a heritage plate.

    Two-digit NSW Heritage plates are the pointy end of the market. Numbers under 100 are held tightly, passed down or parked in collections for decades, and 166 carries the same low-number appeal with a family story attached. Expect interest from plate collectors and anyone chasing a piece of old Sydney commercial history.

    The sale closes 14 October 2026 through Service NSW. Inspect the listing for condition, transfer conditions and the paperwork that comes with a Heritage plate before you bid.

  • An Important Private Collection, Canberra

    An Important Private Collection, Canberra

    Wed 14 Oct 2026 • Sydney • deutscherhackett

    A single-owner collection of Australian and international art is being offered through Deutscher and Hackett, closing 14 October. The Canberra-based private collection spans collectables and fine art, with the auction house running the sale out of its Paddington rooms in Sydney.

    More detail

    This is a single-owner sale, which usually means one person’s taste across a whole lifetime rather than a dealer’s mixed stock. The collection comes from Canberra and is being handled by Deutscher and Hackett, a house with a long track record in Australian and international art.

    Two categories are in play: collectables and art. That combination often throws up the interesting stuff, works on paper, smaller pieces and objects that sit outside the headline lots and can go for less than expected.

    The sale closes 14 October 2026. Paddington is where the auction house operates, so inspect and collection details will run through there. If you are chasing a specific artist or maker, check the full lot list early rather than on the final day.

  • Fine Books | Perth

    Fine Books | Perth

    Sun 18 Oct 2026 • Perth, WA, AU • 269 lots • theodorebruce

    A solid run of collectable books is on offer through Theodore Bruce in Perth, covering everything from a complete 54 volume Great Books of the Western World set to a signed, limited edition of Australian Jewellers: Gold & Silversmiths Makers and Marks. Also in the mix are nine Enid Blyton Famous Five titles, four Arthur Upfield books including The Widows of Broome, and a 1927 Western Australia Post Office Directory.

    More detail

    The jewellery and silver reference titles stand out here. Australian Jewellers: Gold & Silversmiths Makers and Marks by Cavill, Cocks and Grace is the 1992 limited and signed edition, and it sits alongside Brilliant: Australian Gold and Silver 1851-1950 and Place and Adornment, a history of contemporary jewellery in Australia and New Zealand. For anyone collecting Australiana reference material, that trio is the draw.

    Literature buyers get plenty of choice too. The Great Books of the Western World set runs to 54 volumes, and the ten volume Journeys Through Bookland offers a children’s anthology of classic literature. There’s also a first impression of Blyton’s Five Get Into A Fix, a UK first edition of Upfield’s The Widows of Broome, four Baroness Orczy titles including The Scarlett Pimpernel, a Richard Castle run of nine titles, and a first edition of Monica Dickens’ No More Meadows.

    The 1927 Western Australia Post Office Directory is the sleeper for local history collectors. Theodore Bruce, trading since 1878, runs this one out of Perth with bidding closing 18 October.

  • Mid Century Pottery & Australiana

    Mid Century Pottery & Australiana

    Mon 19 Oct 2026 • Marrickville, NSW, AU • 158 lots • theodorebruce

    A solid run of mid-century Australian pottery and Australiana is on offer through Theodore Bruce in Marrickville, NSW. Standouts include a Gunda shallow bowl and tall jug, an Ellis bronze-glazed fox figure from around 1960, a Ray Cook double-handle vase for Raynham, and a large Remued branch-handle pot from about 1930.

    More detail

    The lot list leans heavily on the local studio pottery scene, with Gunda, Ellis, Raynham and Remued all represented. The Ellis fox figure and the Remued branch-handle pot are the sort of pieces that draw steady interest from Australiana collectors, while the Ray Cook vase and Gus McLaren geometric bowl cover the more design-focused end of the market.

    Pressed glass collectors get a decent spread too. There’s a large amber Crown Crystal serving platter, a dark amethyst master bowl with a central swan motif (RD No.4697), a marigold comport with butterfly and Christmas bell detail, and an amber flower trough carrying gumnut and gumleaf motifs.

    Theodore Bruce has been running since 1878 and holds regular art and collectables sales alongside Australia Post unclaimed goods auctions. This one closes 19 October 2026.

  • Fashion & Luxury | Menswear

    Fashion & Luxury | Menswear

    Wed 21 Oct 2026 • Marrickville, NSW, AU • 214 lots • theodorebruce

    A solid run of menswear is on offer, with 12+ coats, jackets and vests from the likes of Burberrys, Aquascutum and R.M. Williams. Standouts include a Calibre trucker jacket in deep red suede, a tan Burberrys car coat, an Aquascutum duffle in navy wool and a Driza-Bone ‘Grosvenor’ workwear jacket, all listed by Theodore Bruce in Marrickville, NSW.

    More detail

    Theodore Bruce has been running auctions since 1878, and this menswear drop leans heavily on cold-weather outerwear. The lot list reads like a well-edited wardrobe: a Burberrys car coat in tan cotton gabardine, an Aquascutum duffle in navy wool, a London Fog 3/4 coat in camel wool blend and a Sportscraft 3/4 coat in navy wool blend cover the classic end of the range.

    There is more casual gear too. A Calibre trucker jacket in deep red suede and an Urban Agenda black leather jacket sit alongside a Bugatti jacket in tan faux suede, an R.M. Williams padded corduroy vest and a Driza-Bone ‘Grosvenor’ jacket in navy cotton. Suiting is covered by an Oxford ‘Blake’ suit jacket in navy and a black cashmere suit jacket, with a Perry Ellis Portfolio 3/4 coat rounding out the list.

    Sizes vary across the catalogue, from 2/XXS through to L, so check the individual lot details before bidding. The auction closes 21 October 2026.

  • Collectables | October

    Collectables | October

    Thu 22 Oct 2026 • Marrickville, NSW, AU • 178 lots • theodorebruce

    A dozen limited edition DC statues are on offer through Theodore Bruce in Marrickville, closing 22 October. The lineup leans heavily on Adam Hughes’ Cover Girls series, with Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Starfire, Hawkgirl and Raven all represented, plus a Kelley Jones and a Mike Mignola piece from the Black & White line.

    More detail

    This is a tight, themed sale rather than a mixed box of odds and ends. The Adam Hughes Cover Girls run is the backbone of the catalogue, with six statues from the DC Direct series spanning 2009 to 2012. Several carry low edition numbers relative to their run size, including Hawkgirl at 746 of 5000 and Wonder Woman at 1270 of 5000. Certificates of authenticity come with the Wonder Woman and Batgirl pieces.

    Beyond the Cover Girls set, there is a William Paquet Joker statue from 1995, numbered 4148 of 4160, and two Black & White Series Batmans from 2006, one by Kelley Jones and one by Mike Mignola. Kotobukiya gets a look in with a Catwoman ARTFX and a 2019 Catwoman Bishoujo, and there is a Batgirl V2 from the Ame-Comi Heroine Series.

    Theodore Bruce has been running since 1878 and holds regular collectables sales alongside its art and Australia Post unclaimed goods auctions. With 12 or more lots and a month until close, there is time to check condition reports and confirm which pieces include their original packaging before bidding.

  • Unusual Collectables, Opals & Georgian Intrigue

    Unusual Collectables, Opals & Georgian Intrigue

    Date TBC • New South Wales • smalls

    Collectables with a difference are on offer through smalls Auctions, spanning opals and Georgian-era curiosities. Expect jewellery, fine art and unusual pieces in the mix, with the Sydney sale open to NSW buyers and beyond.

  • Art.

    Art.

    Date TBC • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A run of art and collectables is on the block through Lawsons, sold from Annandale in Sydney’s inner west. The weekly catalogue leans on paintings, decorative arts, jewellery, books and bric-a-brac, so there is plenty to sift through before the close.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs this sale weekly out of Annandale, which means the catalogue turns over fast and the mix shifts each time. Alongside the art there is antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts and general bric-a-brac, so the value is often in the oddments rather than the headline pieces.

    Buyers should expect a broad, mixed lot list rather than a single themed collection. That suits anyone hunting decorative pieces, reference books or a bottle or two for the cellar. No close date has been posted yet, so check the listing for timing before you commit.

  • Furniture & Interiors

    Furniture & Interiors

    Date TBC • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A weekly auction of antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery and decorative arts is being run by Lawsons in Annandale, Sydney. Standout lots include paintings, collectables and bric-a-brac alongside the furniture and interiors gear.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs this sale every week from its Annandale rooms, which means stock turns over fast and the mix shifts constantly. One week it leans antique, the next it’s modern interiors, so there’s always something new to sort through.

    Beyond the furniture, the catalogue covers books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, paintings and general bric-a-brac. That spread suits buyers chasing a single piece as much as those furnishing a whole room.

    Closing time is still to be confirmed. Check the listing for the full lot list and inspection times before bidding.

  • Objects - Mid 20th Century & Design

    Objects – Mid 20th Century & Design

    Date TBC • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A tight edit of mid-century furniture, decorative arts and design pieces is coming up through Lawsons in Annandale, Sydney. Expect the usual mix from this weekly run: timber sideboards, moulded ply and tubular steel chairs, ceramics, glass, books and assorted bric-a-brac.

    More detail

    Lawsons holds weekly sales out of Annandale covering antique and modern furniture, paintings, jewellery, wine, books and collectables, and this instalment leans into mid-century and design. That means clean-lined timber pieces, upholstered lounge suites, side tables and storage, plus the decorative odds and ends that turn up when a house is cleared.

    Condition varies across lots like this, so read the descriptions and photos closely before bidding. Single pieces and small grouped lots suit buyers chasing one specific item rather than a full house fit-out.

    Inspection times and the full catalogue are worth checking directly with the auction house.

  • Plaza Series - The Gentleman's Club - Receivers and Managers Appointed

    Plaza Series – The Gentleman’s Club – Receivers and Managers Appointed

    Date TBC • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A Gentleman’s Club collection of curios and collectables is being offered through Lawsons in Sydney. Expect the sort of lots that turn up when a private club clears its shelves: framed pictures, decorative arts, furniture and assorted bric-a-brac, all listed under receivers and managers appointed.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs weekly sales out of Annandale covering antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, collectables, paintings and bric-a-brac, and this Gentleman’s Club consignment sits squarely in that mix. The receivers and managers appointment is the detail worth noting: it usually means the stock has to move, and pricing can reflect that.

    The lot list points to a spread rather than a single headline piece, so the value here is in picking through. Framed pictures, jewellery, decorative arts and furniture all appear, which suits buyers chasing one specific item rather than a full house lot.

    Check the catalogue closely before bidding. With a mixed consignment like this, condition varies lot to lot and the photos do most of the talking.

  • Dunara - A Point Piper Home Contents

    Dunara – A Point Piper Home Contents

    Date TBC • Point Piper, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A Point Piper home contents auction is listing furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, paintings and bric-a-brac through Lawsons in Annandale, NSW. Expect antique and modern furniture alongside collectables, with the full catalogue still taking shape ahead of a close date yet to be confirmed.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs weekly auctions out of Annandale, and this Point Piper home contents sale sits squarely in their wheelhouse: antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, collectables, paintings and general bric-a-brac. Home contents auctions like this one tend to reward anyone willing to dig through the catalogue, since quality varies lot to lot and the standout pieces are not always the obvious ones.

    The Point Piper address suggests a household with some depth to it, and estate contents from the eastern suburbs regularly turn up good furniture, framed art and the odd piece of jewellery mixed in with everyday gear. Wine is listed as a category too, which is worth watching if you know your labels.

    The close date is still to be confirmed, so check back for the full lot list and timing before you plan a bid.

  • Fine Art

    Fine Art

    Date TBC • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    Fine art and collectables are on the block through Lawsons in Annandale, Sydney. The catalogue runs to paintings, decorative arts, jewellery, antique and modern furniture, books, wine and general bric-a-brac.

    More detail

    Lawsons holds weekly sales out of Annandale, and this one leans on the art and collectables side while keeping the usual furniture and estate contents in the mix. Paintings sit alongside decorative arts and jewellery, so there is scope to chase a single piece or fill out a room.

    Antique and modern furniture, books and wine round out the catalogue, with bric-a-brac for anyone who likes digging. Weekly format means stock turns over fast, so check the listing for what is actually in this sale before bidding.

    Closing date is still to be confirmed. Check the catalogue for inspection times and condition reports.

  • John Flett Collection Part II

    John Flett Collection Part II

    Date TBC • Sydney, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A deep haul of collectables from the John Flett Collection Part II is being listed through Lawsons in Sydney. The lots take in decorative arts, books, jewellery, paintings and bric-a-brac, with the sort of mixed catalogue that rewards a slow read rather than a quick scroll.

    More detail

    This is the second bite at the John Flett Collection, and Lawsons is running it out of Annandale in Sydney’s inner west. The catalogue leans on the collector’s eye: decorative arts, paintings, jewellery and books sit alongside straight bric-a-brac, so there’s plenty of range between the serious pieces and the cheap pickups.

    Part II auctions tend to be where the leftovers hide the interesting stuff. Early parts draw the obvious money; the second round often turns up the odder, more specific lots that a general buyer skips past. If you know your decorative arts or you’re chasing a particular book or painting, this is worth a proper look through the full list before close.

    Lawsons runs weekly sales covering antique and modern furniture, wine and collectables, so the process is well worn. Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you plan a bid.

  • NSW Heritage Plate 1116

    NSW Heritage Plate 1116

    Date TBC • Service NSW, NSW, AU • lawsons

    A NSW Heritage Plate, number 1116, is on offer through Lawsons in Annandale. The plate sits among a weekly auction line-up that also takes in antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, paintings and general bric-a-brac.

    More detail

    Lawsons runs these sales weekly out of Annandale, and the mix is broad: furniture spanning antique through to modern, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, paintings and the usual bric-a-brac. Heritage plates like this one carry their own following, and plate 1116 gives NSW collectors a specific number to chase rather than a generic lot.

    If you are into decorative arts or collectables, the surrounding catalogue is worth a look. Plates of this type tend to sit alongside jewellery and smalls that can go cheap when the room is thin.

  • 5 Star Provenance Sale -  Avid Wine Collector.

    5 Star Provenance Sale – Avid Wine Collector.

    Date TBC • NSW • 64 lots • Grays Online

    A serious cellar cleanout is on, with 64 lots of aged Australian and imported wine listed through Grays in NSW. The lineup runs from Annie’s Lane Cabernet Merlot 2001 and Chapel Hill Reserve Chardonnay 1995 to Charles Melton Shiraz 1997 out of the Barossa and Barone Ricasoli Casalferro Sangiovese 1999 from Italy.

    More detail

    This is a single-owner collection, and the provenance shows. The bottles have been cellared properly, which matters more than anything else when you are buying wine at auction. Vintages this old are only worth chasing if they have been stored right, and this sale is built around exactly that.

    The highlights are worth a close look. Charles Melton Shiraz 1997 is a Barossa benchmark from a strong year. Chapel Hill Reserve Chardonnay 1995 is a rare chance to see how top SA chardonnay holds up after nearly three decades. The Barone Ricasoli Casalferro 1999 brings a Tuscan sangiovese into the mix, and the Annie’s Lane Cabernet Merlot 2001 rounds out the Clare Valley side.

    Most lots are multi-bottle, so there is room to spread bids across a few different producers rather than going all in on one. Closing date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you commit.

  • Rare Australian Medals & Sporting Treasures

Australian Capital Territory

  • Antiques, Art & Memorabilia Auction

    Antiques, Art & Memorabilia Auction

    Tue 13 Oct 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.

    UNRESERVED ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE COLLECTABLES AUCTION, 500 LOTS

    Thu 15 Oct 2026 • Brisbane, QLD • aaac

    A broad collection of antique and vintage collectables is on offer through aaac in Brisbane, closing 15 October. Coins, militaria, stamps, art, jewellery and antiques make up the 500 lots, with everything unreserved.

    More detail

    This is a specialist and general collectables auction run by AAAC out of Albion, covering the full spread of the collecting world: coins, militaria, stamps, art, jewellery and antiques. With 500 lots and no reserves, every item sells on the day, which suits buyers chasing single pieces or filling gaps in an existing collection.

    The unreserved format is the drawcard. No minimum bids means the hammer falls regardless, so plenty of lots will go cheap simply because the room is spread thin across 500 items. Militaria and coins tend to pull the strongest bidding at these sales, while jewellery and art can slip through for less.

    Worth a look before close on 15 October if you collect across categories or want to pick up stock at trade-friendly prices.

South Australia

  • SA Public Trustee Home & Collectables Clearance

    SA Public Trustee Home & Collectables Clearance

    Sun 18 Oct 2026 • SA • Lloyds Auctions

    A multi-lot online clearance from the SA Public Trustee is listing vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment alongside general household goods. Lloyds Auctions runs the sale out of South Australia, with bidding open until 18 October 2026.

    More detail

    This is a Public Trustee clearance, which means estate goods moving through a single online sale rather than a themed collector auction. The spread is broad: vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods all sit in the one catalogue. For buyers, that mix usually means less competition per lot than a dedicated collectables sale would draw.

    Plant and equipment tends to be the practical draw here, with vehicles close behind. Jewellery and collectables reward anyone willing to read descriptions and check photos properly, since condition varies across estate stock.

    Lloyds runs the sale online across multiple lots, closing 18 October 2026. Inspect before you bid and confirm pickup arrangements for anything bulky.

  • Workshop / Engineering Machinery Collection, Loxton SA

    Workshop / Engineering Machinery Collection, Loxton SA

    Tue 27 Oct 2026 • Kilkenny SA • mgs

    Workshop and engineering machinery is heading to auction in Kilkenny, SA, with mgs running the sale. Lathes, milling gear, tooling and workshop plant make up the catalogue, so anyone kitting out a shed or chasing spare parts should take a look before the 27 October close.

    More detail

    mgs has been running commercial, agricultural, mining and deceased estate sales out of Adelaide since 1980, and this Kilkenny auction leans hard into the engineering side of that trade. Expect the usual workshop staples: lathes, milling machines, drill presses, tooling and the assorted plant that builds up over decades in a working shop.

    Deceased estate and workshop clear-outs like this tend to scatter the good gear through the catalogue rather than front-load it, so read the full lot list rather than skimming the first page. Tooling, chucks, cutters and accessories often go for far less than the machines they fit.

    Inspection details and collection windows come from the auctioneer, so check the listing before bidding. The sale closes 27 October.
