The huge clearance auction of 1600 lots will be held at 109 Learmonth Street, Portland and features art, fine furniture, porcelain, glassware, rugs, clocks and silver.

While there is a comprehensive range of antique and contemporary furniture, auction goers might find the paintings, jewellery, porcelain, clocks, rugs and other collectables more suitable as treasured gifts.  

The auction, which contains items from Melbourne estates and private homes, will start at 9.30am on Tuesday December 16 at 433 Bridge Road, Richmond.
