The Geddes Collection represents an enduring passion for the ancient past by Australia's foremost collector and dealer, Graham Geddes. At the core of his collection is a stunning array of over fifty individual Greek vases that illustrate the variety of shapes and the range of styles present in Apulian, Paestan, Campanian, Gnathian and Attic vase production. This includes a large Apulian volute wine krater, whose unknown painter was named the 'Geddes Painter' by the A.D. Trendall, the renowned academic and expert in South Italian vase-painting, as well as a large and important Apulian red-figure hydria attributed to the Painter of the Berlin Dancing Girl, estimated at £90,000-110,000. The sale will consist of nearly 200 lots of Antiquities, including Classical sculpture, Roman mosaics and Egyptian artefacts.
