Waterford crystal brings auction crowds

Waterford crystal centrepieces, decanters and glasses – many still in their original boxes – continue to be strong drawing cards at Young’s Auctions weekly sale from 9.30am Friday August 8 at 229 Camberwell Road, East Hawthorn.

Owned by the one vendor, the crystal is being auctioned over several weeks and has attracted plenty of interest from auction goers.

The auction also is notable for two large estates of smalls and furniture that have filled up much of the auction room.

Notable is a bronze statue of pheasants nesting, a late 1800s fusee movement railway clock and a Victorian era copper birdcage about 900mm high.

Vintage library steps spiralling around a central pole with brass handle is another item of interest while furniture lovers will find plenty among the Chesterfield, bedroom suites and reproduction furniture.
