AUCTION TO BE HELD MARCH 23rd and MARCH 24th 11.00am.

114 OLINDA-MONBULK RD, OLINDA

It is with pleasure to invite you to view an auction that is the culmination of a dedicated lifetimes work of collecting.

An auction that truly has something for everyone from the finest European Antiques, Vintage radios, Cameras, Art, sculpture and lights, outdoor Garden Statuary, even the much loved Jaguar, everything must be sold.

 

Wini and Eloi will be fondly remembered by many as the owners of Van Pariodon Antiques Sassafras.

True pioneers in the Australian antique trade, Wini and Eloi were the first to expose the Australian public to style and taste of European and especially Belgian Antiques.

The shop always perfectly set out with fresh flowers and the Antiques spotlighted for the regular visitors. The shop becoming so popular as an attraction Wini decided to raise money for the Royal Childrens Hospital by asking for a gold coin donation!!!

Arriving in Australia some fifty years ago, they set about establishing the shop and importing antiques from all over Europe. Having lunch with Wini one day I was enthralled with the stories of the markets and high-end shops they purchased from, auctions attended at European castles all to supply the shop in Sassafras.

In 1999 they purchased Villa Oreste. Over the years they worked tirelessly to create the grand Estate you see now.

After almost half a century in Australia and with the passing of Eloi, Wini has decided to move back home to her beloved Belgium to begin the next chapter in her life, which I am told will be spent driving around Europe and holidaying as much as possible.

It is indeed an honour to be entrusted with auction of this lifetimes work,

Christian McCann
