Philips Auctions
Investment and gift jewellery a great auction purchase
Philips Auctions forthcoming jewellery sale from 6pm Monday August 3 at 47 Glenferrie Road, Malvern continues a strong trend in this area for the auction house as vendors look to sell some of their more significant pieces for Spring.
Quality is once more the catchcry as, under the watchful eye of resident gemmologist Tanya Philips, Philips Auctions furthers its reputation as an ideal venue to purchase jewellery valuable for both investment purposes and as the perfect gift.
According to Tanya Philips, quality offerings are more important than aesthetic appeal.

Neil Collister an auction house favourite
The late Neil Collister was the sort of collector most auction houses would pay good money to have in the room at sale time.
There was always some item – be it smalls or antique furniture – that would grab his interest every time he frequented his favourite Melbourne or Victorian regional auction houses and his collection grew steadily.
An accountant by profession, Collister even learned French polishing and took an interest in upholstering so he could either keep or restore his antique purchases to good order.

Farewell online auction for artist Annette Edwards
Australian artist and printmaker the late Annette Edwards was one of those people who found it natural to mix music, dance, dramatic and visual arts in a meld of painting and printmaking that has left a lasting impression on the Australian art scene.
Graduating in 1981 with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Edwards was heavily influenced by one of her teachers George Baldessin (the ‘Baldessin Circle’ was influential in Melbourne’s printmaking culture) and probably swayed her decision to become a printmaker.

Mossgreen
Art auction encourages first time collectors
While Mossgreen’s second Sunday Art Emporium auction for the year is geared to encourage collectors entering the art market for the first time – with plenty of paintings carrying estimates of only a few hundred dollars – it also is notable for several significant Sidney Nolan works (lots 42-46) held tightly by the family and never before seen publicly.
Two of these – Angels over Ely 1951 and Bush Sketches 1951 – are ink on glass works, a medium that is rarely seen at auction.
