If you have a hankering to know more about antiques, or you simply want to know what it’s like to hold a fortune in your fingers, book now for your place in a series of workshops that lets you get a grip on your subject of choice.

It is an opportunity to learn the same way the experts do, by having and holding. Let the years recede and the past come alive in these practical sessions open to anyone interested in jewellery, silver and furniture. In just 90 minutes, insiders’insights will help you become that little more discerning, and so able to make better decisions when deciding on that all important acquisition. Each session is limited to 10–20 people, so everyone has the opportunity to participate in the hands-on component of the workshop. SESSIONS COMMENCE at 6 pm and run until 7.30 pm.

New Catalogue - Voyages to the Southern Hemisphere
We have prepared a catalogue titled Voyages to the Southern Hemisphere.
Contained are 51 items priced AUD $850 to $145,000.
The title of this catalogue is taken from one of the rarest published works relating to Captain Cook, which is also the first published children’s book relating to Australia, New Zealand, or indeed probably the Pacific. This charming item is complemented by a complete set of Cook’s Voyages, printed ephemera including the delightful Langley writing sheet illustrating the third Voyage, and editions of Zimmermann, Matra and Marra. The English voyages are further represented by first collected editions in French and English of Dampier and a fine French edition of Anson, as well as the Erskine photographic album of the visit of the Australian Squadron to New Guinea.
The French voyages include a signed presentation copy of Dumont d’Urville’s Voyage de la corvette L’Astrolabe, a clean copy of Labillardiere’s account of the search for La Perouse, Crozet’s work on the Dufresne voyage, and various children’s games, illustrated works and unusual provincial editions.
The spectacular and rarely exhibited Joseph Dufour panoramic wallpaper Les Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique will provide the backdrop to our display and is also offered for sale.
The catalogue can be downloaded as a PDF or viewed online:
