to Leonard Joel in 2014 or what I like

to refer to as “the economy of beautiful

things and interesting people”. Visitors to

that in so many ways retains the

original character and atmosphere of

a 19th century auction room but with

a commitment to provide each client a

professional, transparent and ultimately

enjoyable experience.

private, public and commercial clients alike

a complete suite of auction management

services and the largest auction market for

the dispersal and purchase of art, objects,

antiques, jewellery, collectables, design and

interior furniture in the country.

From the identification and valuation of

single items through to the dispersal of

major private and corporate collections,

Leonard Joel has become synonymous

as an auction house with the broadest

specialist expertise and unparalleled local

market knowledge.

So whether you are selling or buying at

Leonard Joel my commitment is to ensure

that the market we create at every auction

SolD, 80 YEarS on

This important carved Carrara marble

sculpture, depicting a semi-draped

maiden, was originally sold by Leon-

ard Joel as part of the estate of Henry

F. Young in 1929, over 80 years ago.

We then had the great pleasure of

selling “Susanna” (Italian, dated

1890) again in 2010, realising a sale

price of $48,800 IBP.

Since 1919 Leonard Joel has been the auctioneer of choice for all the important Melbourne dispersals and our recently

renamed Specialist Collector department has been specifically designed to provide every seller of a collection a bespoke

solution with flexible and transparent pricing options. To explore our history of single-owner sales go to page 10-11

Australia’s only specialist photography department and auctions were conceived when the executors of the estate of Wolfgang Sievers approached Leonard Joel to conduct an auction of the collection of this Australian icon . Before this auction a mere $4692 of auction sales for Sievers had been generated in Australia but since this auction hundreds of thousands of dollars have been sold for the estate. Since the Wolfgang Sievers sale Leonard Joel has firmly positioned itself as the Australian auction market leader in photography with record-breaking sales for the artist Angus O’Callaghan and more recently the collection of Dr Dinesh Parekh.

February 10-13 the awarded, �The New Joneses’ eco-cool

lifestyle returns to FedSquare, when Ch7 Sunrise’s Edwina

Bartholomew lives the �new normal’ of an energy efficient,

no-waste lifestyle daily, in-front of a national TV audience. The

house will be open to the public Feb 15-16 as part of Sustainable

Living Festival.

The New Joneses proudly partner with Leonard Joel, who do a

brilliant job promoting the style, quality and benefits of second

hand and pre-loved luxury goods.

After realizing that sheets and towels in luxury hotels have

been used before, The New Joneses decided wherever possible

(with the definite exception of undies�) to buy everything they

can, second hand.

In-line with �new consumption’ (thoughtful, not wasteful)

Bartholomew’s clothes, furniture and home wares will all be

sourced secondhand, highlighting the benefits of extending

the life of existing goods.

In The New Joneses 8 star energy-rated house, (hydraulically

lifted onto FedSquare), Bartholomew and the Sunrise audience

will experience sustainable living tips, from energy efficiency,

the secondhand economy, reducing food waste, buying local

from Aussie producers, electric vehicles, living chemical free,

composting, maximizing resources, minimizing waste and

�growing their own’.

Bartholomew will learn to save money by measuring and

modifying energy use, eat food sourced direct from the farmer,

grow some veggies, practice home composting, keep chickens

and a worm farm and on trips where she can’t walk or bike

ride, she’ll drive a 100% electric car.

School kids will tour the house daily, gathering fresh eggs

(provided by the resident chickens) �closing the loop’ by

feeding chickens food waste and will learn to up-cycle and

repurpose existing goods.

The New Joneses are brought to life by Ecoliv Buildings,

Powershop, Farmhouse Direct, Gumtree.com.au, Nissan

LEAF, LEDified, Metropolitan Waste Management Group,

Earth Choice, Organic Care, Positive Charge, Sustainable

Living Festival, City of Melbourne, Vertical Gardens Australia,
