COVID-19 & OUR 2020 BULL AND SELECT FEMALE SALE.

Based on current and projected restrictions on gatherings, we are hopeful that our 2020 sale will be able to proceed as per normal, in the live video auction format, with some adjustments made on site to accommodate social distancing regulations. As with previous years, we will also be interfacing the sale with AuctionsPlus to give those who do not wish to attend, or cannot make the sale the opportunity to bid. 
With this in mind, we will also be hosting an inspection day on FRIDAY 26th JUNE 2020 to give those not attending the opportunity to view the sale draft. We strongly encourage inspections during this time, particularly for those who are at risk or caregivers to those at risk. 
Inspections during the inspection day will be available by appointment, with appointment times allotted to attendees, so that we are able to better manage social distancing regulations. If you are unable to make this day, please get in contact with us to make other arrangements.
We will continue to monitor and adhere to the latest advice from the Australian Government regarding COVID-19. Updates will be made via our website and social media platforms if and when they are required. If you have any questions, or would like to make an appointment to view our sale draft, please feel free to give one of us or our selling agents a call!

The phenomenal success of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries has a great deal to do with the aesthetic of the TV show – 1920s Melbourne and a glamourous protagonist! This lecture looks at the dress in the 1920s, the designers who were influencing the style and the developments that were changing the way people thought about clothes. It is also a look behind the scenes, creating Phryne Fisher’s world and the flapper style so synonymous with the decade. It was a period that began to embrace sportswear, leisurewear, shortened hems as well as outrageous parties. It also looks at menswear of the period and the changes that were beginning to take place within the masculine wardrobe.

This is the gripping and sometimes hilarious story of how a band of heroic curators and eccentric custodians saved Britain’s national heritage during their Darkest Hour. As Hitler’s forces gathered on the other side of the Channel to threaten the UK, men and women from London’s national museums, galleries and archives forged extraordinary plans to evacuate their collections to safety. Utilising country houses from Buckinghamshire to Cumbria, tube tunnels, Welsh mines and Wiltshire quarries, a team of unlikely heroes packed up their greatest treasures in a race against time. It was the sweltering summer of 1939.

Webinar Series

Classical music reached a peak of perfection in Vienna during the last three decades of the Eighteenth Century, an era in which every aristocratic household worth its salt had a Kapelle or band of musicians to keep every-one entertained. In particular, the refined musical discourse of the string quartet was held to be the highest form of musical art; the elegant interplay of its various string instruments likened by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to “four intelligent people conversing”. In this talk, Sandy examines the perfect storm of circumstances that made this extraordinary era possible. He looks at selected excerpts of Classical elegance at its finest, and considers the remarkable figure of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a musician rightly prized – and mythologised – as one of the greatest ever known.
