Clock collection to entice auction goers

A collection of clocks and Russian pieces will entice auction goers to Young’s Auctions next weekly sale from 9.30am Friday September 5 at 229 Camberwell Road, East Hawthorn.

The clocks are unusual – one a French slate and bronze timepiece, complete with a young woman and dog sculpture on top, and three others featuring intricate lace bronze work.

The Russian items include sterling silver stirrup cup and a bronze sculpture of a horse pulling a man and sleigh.

From the same collection comes Chinese rock crystals – while for those auction goers interested in memorabilia is a collection of antique bottle openers.

One of the more intriguing items is a miniature mahogany apprentice chest – and in the full size furniture are quality Victorian antiques, a French milliner’s table and French parquetry top table with 10 matching chairs.

Each week Young’s Auctions clears more than 90 per cent of its auction stock and this week the company also is offering brand new bedroom and lounge suites.
