“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.
The magic of an Hermes silk scarf and the trademark orange box...

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.
