Sold, 80 Years On This important carved Carrara marble sculpture, depicting a semi-draped maiden, was originally sold by Leonard Joel as part of the estate of Henry F. Young in 1929, over 80 years ago.

We then had the great pleasure of selling “Susanna�

(Italian, dated

1890) again in 2010, realising a sale price of $48,800 IBP.

PHOTOGRAPHY Australia’s only specialist photography department and auctions were conceived when the executors of the estate of Wolfgang Sievers approached Leonard Joel to conduct an auction of the collection of this Australian icon . Before this auction a mere $4692 of auction sales for Sievers had been generated in Australia but since this auction hundreds of thousands of dollars have been sold for the estate. Since the Wolfgang Sievers sale Leonard Joel has firmly positioned itself as the Australian auction market leader in photography with record-breaking sales for the artist Angus O’Callaghan and more recently the collection of Dr Dinesh Parekh.

LIVING LIKE THE NEW JONESES February 10-13 the awarded, The New Joneses’ eco-cool lifestyle returns to FedSquare, when Ch7 Sunrise’s Edwina Bartholomew lives the new normal’ of an energy efficient, no-waste lifestyle daily, in-front of a national TV audience. The house will be open to the public Feb 15-16 as part of Sustainable Living Festival.

The New Joneses proudly partner with Leonard Joel, who do a brilliant job promoting the style, quality and benefits of second hand and pre-loved luxury goods.

After realizing that sheets and towels in luxury hotels have been used before, The New Joneses decided wherever possible (with the definite exception of undies ) to buy everything they can, second hand.

In-line with new consumption’ (thoughtful, not wasteful) Bartholomew’s clothes, furniture and home wares will all be sourced secondhand, highlighting the benefits of extending the life of existing goods.

In The New Joneses 8 star energy-rated house, (hydraulically lifted onto FedSquare), Bartholomew and the Sunrise audience will experience sustainable living tips, from energy efficiency, the secondhand economy, reducing food waste, buying local from Aussie producers, electric vehicles, living chemical free, composting, maximizing resources, minimizing waste and growing their own’.

Bartholomew will learn to save money by measuring and modifying energy use, eat food sourced direct from the farmer, grow some veggies, practice home composting, keep chickens and a worm farm and on trips where she can’t walk or bike ride, she’ll drive a 100% electric car.

School kids will tour the house daily, gathering fresh eggs (provided by the resident chickens) closing the loop’ by feeding chickens food waste and will learn to up-cycle and repurpose existing goods.

The New Joneses are brought to life by Ecoliv Buildings, Powershop, Farmhouse Direct, Gumtree.com.au, Nissan LEAF, LEDified, Metropolitan Waste Management Group, Earth Choice, Organic Care, Positive Charge, Sustainable Living Festival, City of Melbourne, Vertical Gardens Australia, Leonard
