upcoming Modern Design Auction December 2015


“discovered in Australia and offered to the

world” we really do mean that and the Sydney

auction of the Estate of Colin Lanceley was a

wonderfully hectic example of a globalised

market in play. Our audience for the Surry

Hills auction were unquestionably patient

as almost every lot enjoyed internet bidding,

extending the auction well in to midnight. No

less than 1,259 internet bids were received

from ten distinct international regions –

Belgium, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland were

just three of the countries that viewed, bid

and bought fine art, objects and collectables

and from a collection as international as its

audience. And to put that number of bids in

to perspective, roughly three online bidders

competed with the audience of in-room,

telephone and absentee bidders on every

lot offered. And so why do I tell you all of

this? Well firstly, and unashamedly, because

auction houses want their sellers to know

that their exotic assets are truly enjoying

global attention and secondly because buyers

need to understand that auctions have now

changed. No longer are they rapid fire,

unapologetic, contract closing machines with

little sympathy for the new, the slow or the

hesitant buyer. Now rather, they are slower

and more complex selling environments,

where technology, bandwidth and computer

skills influence the auctioneer as much as the

telephone, the absentee bid or the seasoned

room bidder. Technology may well have

slowed the auction but I have never heard

a seller complain when they hear that their

tremendous result went silently to a laptop

connected to the world.

When we say...

& ObjectsMonday 14th December - 2pm

On the 10th of December at 2pm Leonard Joel will

be offering a curated selection of early 20th century

works from a private South Australian collection. The

impressive offering includes prints and paintings

predominantly by early South Australian artists

including Marie Tuck, Jacqueline Hick, Arthur

Boxall, Rex Wood, Richard Hayley Lever and Lisette

Kohlhagen.

With an emphasis on objects of fine quality

and compact form, the Petite Classic Furniture

& Objects auction offers one final opportunity

to purchase an object of beauty before Christmas.

December’s monthly collectables auction will feature

an impressive group of rare international toys from a

Melbourne based collector. Alongside a number of

early European and American pieces from Lehmann,

Steelcraft and Marx, the collection also includes

exceptional pre-war train pieces from Hornby, French

Hornby, Bing and Carette. Noteworthy items include

a Lehmann EPL II Airship from 1912 and a Gama Pan

Am Stratoscruiser aeroplane among many other highly

collectable items.

Time and PlaceAs an auctioneer it was a complete joy to sell the

Estate of Colin Lanceley. Conservative estimates,

ranging categories, an expansive period range and

decorative arts from around the world equalled for

me a “perfect state” as an auctioneer. Add to that a

warm, intelligent and gracious host (Kay Lanceley),

and the auction became all the more meaningful,

as we strove for an exceptional result; both for

Leonard Joel and Kay. And I believe we delivered

to the market a comprehensively successful single-

owner collection.

International bidders from all corners of the globe

combined with 1,259 internet bids, not to mention

overwhelming room bidding on every lot, delivered

some very pleasing statistics. A combined 156

Australian and International works of art, 157

decorative arts lots and the Lanceley’s locally

famous 61 lot period rug collection generated

sales of $600,000 IBP; a 96% sale rate by lot and a

staggering 140% by value.

But to be perfectly honest, after the results are

long forgotten, what I will remember is an auction

decorated by moments when friends of and visitors

to the Lanceley universe secured their precious

memory of times and places.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, our December

Fine Art auction was in every sense a classic mix

of connoisseurship and eclecticism. Our 288 lot

catalogue offering traversed, with its usual verve,

contrasting periods, genres and tastes. The

classical was handsomely represented by a 17th

century work by the artist Jacob Marrell – the work

titled A Vanitas Still Life Parrot, with exceptional

provenance, realised $48,800 (IBP), more than

doubling its estimate while cementing Leonard

Joel’s new reputation as the best platform in

Australia for period international art sales. The

author will have to declare now his weak spot

for the best of Australian Impressionism before

he introduces Ethel Carrick-Fox’s rendering of St

Mark’s Square in Venice. This jewel of a painting,

that floated within the Fox family for no less than

108 years, satisfied both lovers of best period

Impressionism and connoisseurs alike and as if

to prove that point the 26 x 35cm panel realised

$67,100 (IBP); again, more than double its low

estimate. But it was not just French and classical

manners that dominated the night. A handful of

extraordinary contemporary art results reminded

the audience that new tastes and aesthetics were

in the ascendant and the highlight was certainly

the British untitled 1980 work by John Hoyland

that sold to the internet for $12,200 (IBP) to more

than quadruple its low estimate! Our last fine

art auction for 2015 realised $650,000 (IBP). We

now welcome consignments in both Sydney and

Melbourne for forthcoming auctions.

Old European to Modern Brilliant

Historically, diamonds have been cut in many different shapes. Early artisans were

constrained by the practical limitations of retaining the most weight from the

rough diamond, using the diamond’s adamantine lustre. As time went on, cuts

were developed to achieve ‘light return’ from the gem. Until the 19th century,

they were reserved for the very wealthy, but during the late 19th and early

20th century, cutting techniques improved and with the further opening up

of the Indian and South African mines, diamonds became more accessible to

the middle class. Many of the examples of old European cut diamonds on the

market today are from this period.

In the early 20th century, Marcel Tolkowsky developed and perfected the

modern round brilliant cut we know today. He achieved it with calculations

providing for very specific proportions, angles, lengths of cuts, depths and

table spread. When Tolkowsky perfected this cut it became the accepted world

standard for ideal diamond proportions, as it gave the best light return and

brilliance from the gem.

When cutting for the perfect proportions of the round brilliant cut, there can

be considerable wastage from the rough diamond and if other sought after

criteria are present, the rarity value increases exponentially with size, colour and

clarity. There is high demand for this perfect cut and the market prices such

diamonds accordingly.

The round brilliant cut replaced the traditional antique cut, commonly known

as Old European Cut. It has a higher crown and pavilion angles, often uneven

facets and misproportions, faceted culet coupled with a much smaller table. As

light enters the gem and is broken up into the spectral colours. A rainbow-

like effect is visible due to the way the light is returned from the gem, however

much of the light ‘leaks’ and is lost. It has a completely different look to the

viewer and is regarded as beautiful by those who appreciate them. These Old

European cut diamonds are enchanting when viewed under candlelight.

There is no question that the modern round brilliant cut is the ideal cut for the

best light return. There is however an unmistakable beauty in an Old European

Cut diamond. Many buyers are now seeking these diamonds for exactly that

reason. Recently we have seen a dramatic rise in the prices being paid for Antique

diamond jewellery set with old European cuts, particularly larger examples with

a high colour and clarity. It is the romance attached to such a stone that sets

hearts aflutter and imaginations running wild.

To see examples and compare these two cuts, please talk to our qualified

staff. At Leonard Joel we offer a wide selection of jewellery from antique

to contemporary. If you are looking for a special piece, our team can assist

you. With the assurance that our catalogue descriptions are accurate and we

provide money back guarantees, you can be confident in your selection. We

look forward to assisting you and answering any questions you may have.

A gift of love is given in many ways. Over a

number of Christmases one man’s love for his

wife lead him to Hermes for the perfect gift…

a luxurious Hermes silk scarf.

The Hermes silk scarf is a highly coveted and

collected symbol of luxury. First created in

1937, the silk scarf has grown in popularity and

desirability. Each scarf is hand-rolled and stitched

depicting an individual screen-printed design

where the subject matter is unlimited. There

are up to fifty freelance artists working at a time

to produce twenty new designs a year, with

the whole process taking approximately seven

hundred hours to complete. Popular designs

are reissued from time to time, however original

vintage versions of these designs are sought after

by worldwide collectors and connoisseurs alike.

On 28th November, our Luxury department

offered approximately forty silk scarves by Hermes

at auction, some with their original Hermes

envelopes and boxes. Twenty of these are a single

owner collection of vintage silk scarves. Each was

a Christmas gift that was given by a husband to his

wife. Purchased from their favourite department

store Franz Sauer, in Cologne and dating from

the late 1950’s to the early 1990’s. A tradition of

gift giving that was held on Christmas Eve, the

proud husband revealing the Hermes envelope

from inside his suit pocket, to the gasps of his

loving wife.

A wonderful piece of Hermes history and a

fabulous selection of silk scarves.

Now consigning designer handbags and accessories for the next Luxury auction in March 2016.

It is no secret that the concept of the modern

day antiques auction has evolved to become

more than just a commercial transaction. Today,

as much emphasis is placed on providing

an ‘experience’ for potential buyers as the

effectiveness of the auction system as a method

of facilitating the transfer of goods between

parties: beyond the production of a glossy

catalogue for clients to take home, champagne

preview events and specialist talks are becoming

the norm, as methods of adding value to a

client’s auction experience.

Leonard Joel Property Presentation Auctions are

designed to offer a solution for the dispersal of

house contents collections that enhances the

auction experience for potential purchasers,

while offering vendors a range of services

designed to optimise the benefi ts of selling at

auction. Options for viewing a client’s collection

on-site at their property and holding the auction

of their items either at their home or at Leonard

Joel’s Melbourne or Sydney salerooms, offer

attractive economies to the vendor, most notably

by negating the potentially hefty packing and

transport fees associated with transferring

goods from their property to the auction rooms,

but also by allowing the sale of anything of

commercial value at the property, without

the worry of spending money transporting

items of low-value - the term ‘everything but

the kitchen sink’ could have been coined to

describe a house contents auction! From the

buyer’s perspective, a Property Presentation

Auction allows privileged access to a collection,

presented in the context for which it was

acquired and with the added knowledge of

knowing exactly where their prized purchase

came from, invaluable information for any

collector.
