OldBank Auctions, as the name suggests, was located in an old bank in Geelong. Refered to as ‘Geelong’s Best historic building’, it was constructed in 1856 to house the English, Scottish & Australian Bank. The grand banking chamber, clerks rooms, and bluestone vault made a very atmospheric rooms for regular sales of Art & Antiques, over a 10 year + timespan.
Unique to Auctions in Australian in the 1990’s, we had a website with every lot illustrated!
What's Old is New.....
OldBank Auctions
Back in the 1990’s, Moorabool Antiques was asked to sell a client’s collection on their behalf. They produced the first of a series of auctions that lasted for a decade – OldBank Auctions, based in the historic ES&A bank in Malop Street, Geelong.
While OldBank held its last auction in 2004, Moorabool now finds itself in the same situation: a good customer has needed to sell his vast collection of quality Antiques and Art, mostly sourced from Moorabool Antiques over the past 60 years. Our first sale, and a few more beyond, were populated by the pieces of this impressive collection.
