New furniture auction great for Christmas

More than $80,000 worth of brand new classical and modern style furniture from a shop that has closed down is a major highlight for Young’s latest auction from 9.30am Friday at 229 Camberwell Road, East Hawthorn.

The auction also contains jewellery from three estates including gold brooches, gold rings set with diamonds and semi-precious stones and two one-carat diamond rings.

Other jewellery on offer includes brand new rings to be sold under instructions from a liquidator.

Spirit lovers will no doubt be interested in the bottles of whisky, brandy and cognac up for grabs along with crystal whisky tumblers and brandy balloon glasses.

Among the furniture, Young’s is auctioning an art deco walnut dining suite with matching display cabinet, antique hallstands, dining furniture and occasional pieces.

There also is a magnificent Dresden porcelain dinner set for 12 (including serving tureens), Royal Doulton series ware, an antique sextant, Australian and foreign coins and a Fendi ‘spy’ leather handbag.
