Time and Place As 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 singleowner 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.

SOLD $3,904 IBP

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.

Fine Art Result Highlights 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

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

Sydney Art Specialist Leonard Joel is delighted to announce the appointment of Art Specialist, Millie McMahon who has joined our burgeoning Sydney team to bring a regular fine art offering to our clients.

Millie’s passion for art and wealth of auction experience stems from many years in the industry; prior to joining Leonard Joel, Millie worked for Bonhams & Goodman and Bay East Auctions and was most recently the NSW Registrar and Associate Art Specialist at Menzies Art Brands.

Millie holds a Bachelor of Arts (Advanced) from the University of Sydney and received her Masters of Art Administration from the University of New South Wales’ College of Fine Arts in 2012.

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.

140 A SOLITAIRE DIAMOND PENDANT

Sold $43,920 IBP

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 rainbowlike 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

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

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

A SILK SCARF BY HERMES

Sold for $146 IBP

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.
