The Contents of 834 High Street, Thornbury, Melbourne: Mid-Century & Industrial Furniture, Lighting & Objects

FOR SALE BY UNRESERVED PUBLIC AUCTION

Leonard Joel Auctioneers and Valuers are thrilled to present The Contents of 834 High Street, Thornbury: Melbourne’s Secret Collection of Mid-Century Design.

The expansive double shop front of the former Brooks & Co. Furniture building at 834 High Street, Thornbury, in Melbourne’s inner-North, has long been the subject of speculation and intrigue.

The doors to the shop have remained firmly padlocked for some time and its attractive window displays have offered just enough of an insight into the treasures within to whet the appetite of local mid-century design aficionados.

Now, this well-kept secret will be revealed when the collection is dispersed from 11am on Monday 22nd February, in one unreserved public single-owner auction at Leonard Joel’s sale rooms, 333 Malvern Road, South Yarra.

A lengthy process of sorting, unpacking and cataloguing by Leonard Joel specialists has yielded the type of international and Australian design rarities seldom found in one collection, let alone the same auction, with many items in untouched original condition.

Leonard Joel is delighted to be entrusted with the sale of this intriguing collection, and we look forward to sharing the secret with you!
