Leonard Joel is Australia’s premier auction house, a marketplace for the rare, the beautiful and the extraordinary. Celebrating collections since 1919, Leonard Joel has been entrusted with auctioning some of Australia’s most interesting and important collections from across the country. The auction house celebrates every collection and the collectors who created them, devising highly targeted marketing and media campaigns, beautifully illustrated catalogues and expertly managed auctions which lead to outstanding results.

Now with offices in Melbourne and Sydney as well as specialist representation in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, Leonard Joel offers something to suit all tastes and budgets, providing specialist expertise and regular curated auctions for fine jewels and timepieces, fine art, decorative arts, Asian works of art, modern design, prints and multiples, luxury and more.

Leonard Joel is also renowned for the Auction Salon – a long-running and popular auction offering over 1000 lots of furniture, jewellery, art and objects every week. The Auction Salon attracts a broad range of sellers and buyers, from interior designers through to seasoned collectors.

Those interested in pursuing the beauties on offer can participate in live auctions on the Leonard Joel website through Bid Live Online, in which you can bid on items in-room, via telephone bid, or by absentee bid. But if you want to see what’s on offer up close, you can attend regular auction events at the Melbourne or Sydney salerooms.

Coming up on the packed Leonard Joel schedule is one of three ‘Important Jewels’ auctions that occur annually in Sydney, with a focus on international, designer and signed jewellery. Featuring diamonds, coloured stones and pearls, as well as antique, modern and contemporary jewellery, and rare timepieces, ‘Important Jewels’ in Leonard Joel’s portfolio forms part of the largest and longest-running auction jewellery marketplace in Australia. In 2021, Leonard Joel sold a magnificent 20.05 carat diamond ring for $1,625,000 IBP, making it the most expensive diamond ever sold at auction in Australia.

Also coming up in the calendar, as part of Leonard Joel’s ‘Important Collections’ category, is the Geoffrey Hatty auction, highlighting beautiful 20th century decorative art pieces from the Geoffrey Hatty collection, which has been curated for over 30 years.

For anyone seeking a bespoke range of services including specialist advice and expertise, valuations and tailored solutions for clients wishing to present an important piece or collection to market, or looking to purchase an investment piece, Leonard Joel is the place to be this beginning of the financial year.
