CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC FOR NOW

Firstly, thank you to all buyers and sellers who participated in our most recent sale,

Australian & International Art, which was held on Sunday. The sale was a great success, achieving a hammer price total of $467,000, with a sale rate of 79% to lots offered.

More sobering news on Tuesday night, but understandable under the circumstances, was the

Prime Minister's announcement that all auction houses are to close their doors as of Wednesday 26th March, midnight.

We will comply with this decree whilst lobbying through the Auctioneers & Valuers Association of Australia for an exception to be made for online only, no public access auctions. We believe that, with strict protocols in place, sales might be held that do not conflict with the important message of no unnecessary gatherings, or unacceptable person to person contact.

Our proposed May 3rd Estate & Collector auction is on-site, almost full, and (necessarily)

on hold.

Any purchases currently in our rooms may only be collected by appointment & by authorised carriers. No member of the public shall be admitted to our premises until further notice. This includes buyers who may have just purchased items, & also vendors for whom we are holding stock. We thank our vendors for their patience.

Meanwhile, we shall be contactable through the regular channels of phone and email;

auction appraisals will be completed via email; deliveries of consignments might be received (by carrier only) and by appointment; and we shall be ready to restart

the moment it is permissable and safe to do so.
