Over the last few years we have witnessed an increasing freedom of spirit as collectors seek to Wjuxtapose sleek modernist items with more traditional antiques. This allied to the growing appreciation of fine New Zealand Folk Art has meant that many of the accepted decorating and collecting categories based on chronology have become looser and less defined by genre.
Collecting tastes are becoming more eclectic with a premium placed on the quirky, unique and associated documentary provenance. The ability to directly contextualize to a period, maker or collection is becoming sought after by informed collectors.
Hence the A+O team has undertaken significant research to accompany many pieces in the Objects of Desire catalogue, assisting the collector in understanding context, historical significance and some of the fascinating ‘back stories’ that these Objects of Desire are informed by and in turn communicate to us in the 21st Century.
Many of these items have been dramatis personae at some of the most significant moments of New Zealand history and internationally. Lot 11 is a case in point, An American Civil War Fife with provenance attributed to a distinct regiment and a well documented battle in 1862.
Closer to home is lot 8, a spectacular 18th century anchor salvaged in New Zealand in the 1920s. Provenance for this work is a little harder to pin down but not completely lost in the mists of time. The design and scale of the piece suggests potential historic sources for this fascinating item. By the way it is not exactly too close to home - at 1.5 tonnes the anchor is too large to be displayed at A+O’s gallery. Arrangements will need to be made to view the anchor at its current location within an hour’s drive north of Auckland.
Our thanks go to our collector clients who have supported this new auction format by selecting choice pieces from their treasured collections and who have been so assiduous in recording the historic provenance attached to these Objects of Desire.
Collectors fulfil a vital role in not just preserving the physical objects but also collating documentation, anecdotes and historical sources. It is because of their care and diligence that we will be able to pass these narratives to new, enthusiastic guardians. My business is all about the future.
I’m always thinking about what’s going to be right for tomorrow. And that’s why I like to surround myself with other forward-thinking brands. The Lexus RX450h, the only luxury hybrid SUV on the market, allows me to travel between my home in the country and design room in the city, in style and comfort, without giving up the earth for it.
