Melbourne interior decorator's collection to intrigue auction goers
Melbourne interior decorator and landscaper the late Daryl Mills, who died late last year, was a popular figure among collectors.
Those who visited his business Demille Decorative Arts in High Street, Kew became used to seeing him in trademark white overalls tending to his largely art deco and 1950s and 1960s collection of fittings and furniture, and he was a great supporter of Melbourne’s auction houses.
Daryl’s artistic life began at 18 with landscaping that also incorporated an art gallery in Gardenvale.
