FROM THE WEIRD TO THE WONDERFUL:

Valuing artworks for replacement, gifting and sale

Doing appraisals for private collectors never cease to amaze us. Recently we had the honour of valuing The Goldsmith from 1655, a celebrated Rembrandt etching that had travelled from Holland to America and eventually landing in Australia with a descendant of the original owner.
​

We love doing this sort of detective work so if you have something weird or wonderful in your collection that you would like to know more about, please drop us a line.

Trish and I attended the 2024 Premier’s Award for History Award presentation at the Langham Hotel, Melbourne in April and were thrilled to be awarded the top honour from a rich field of 38 shortlisted entries and 140 submissions.

As I explained in my acceptance speech, Letters to a Critic has truly been a labour of love, taking 16 years to complete.

​This enchanting work by Kate Shaw has recently become available for purchase exclusively through RJA. It was purchased for clients, along with other works by Kate Shaw, from Martin Browne Gallery in 2019. Now that they have downsized, the owners are reluctantly letting it go to a good home. Could that be you?
