BEAUTY & GRACE | An Art Deco Collection

Live Auction

Sun 30th Apr 2023

Time: 12:00pm

Here is the latest in our exciting season of single owner auctions.

This catalogue focusses on the vision of a Melbourne collector with a life-long passion for Art Deco. His untimely death brings these beautiful pieces to the market and gives many collectors the opportunity to view the hundreds of pieces he managed to acquire and display so beautifully in his home. We hope many of you will take the opportunity to visit us during the viewing days, you will find yourself seduced by the “beauty and grace” of the work of the remarkable artists who created these pieces. You may even be inspired to start your own collection.

We look forward to helping you with your enquiries and your bids,

The Team at Leski’s.
