6 April 2007 - 21:02Aussie acquisition

Bonhams & Goodman has acquired the goodwill of Sydney-based auction house Stanley & Co., which was founded by the respected auctioneer Dalia Stanley in 1990. Dalia Stanley will join the firm as a Senior Specialist on 1st November. This is being seen as the beginning of a rationalisation of the Australian auction industry; in June, Bonhams & Goodman announced its merger with Theodore Bruce of Adelaide, Australia’s oldest auction house, which was established in 1878.

Bonhams & Goodman was established in September 2003 when Australian auctioneers Goodmans joined the Bonhams group of companies.
