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, will be populated by the pieces of this impressive collection.
