Property from the Collection
of Hugh & Jackie Wallace
Lots 1–200
Jackie and Hugh Wallace were both born in the late 1930s.
Jackie was born in Epsom, England and Hugh in Melbourne,
Australia. Jackie’s father served with the English army in Iceland
and following WWII, he continued to travel extensively through
his work as a quantity surveyor, opening offices around the
globe. Jackie accompanied him on numerous trips through
Europe and Africa, as well as to Australia, where she met Hugh.
Hugh by now was a stockbroker and partner at Carrington & Co,
when he first met Jackie.
Both Jackie and Hugh enjoyed collecting art from an early age
and had a good eye for it. Being a stockbroker, Hugh was used to
calculated risks and so would often buy an artwork when he felt
the artist showed potential. Together they bought art by the likes
of Jeffrey Smart and Albert Namatjira, long before they became
well known artists, let alone collectable works of art. They worked
well as a team, with interests and growing knowledge in differing
areas. Jackie was particularly interested in English seascapes,
Staffordshire and furniture, while Hugh favoured Murano glass,
Torquay Ware ceramics and Aboriginal art.
Over the years Jackie and Hugh travelled extensively, in particular
to England, Europe, Sri Lanka and around Australia. Their
collection is eclectic, from Aboriginal art, Naïve art, early and
modern Australian, English and Asian furniture and artefacts,
Murano glass, Torquay Ware, Staffordshire and bronze works
through to Egyptian and Shona stone. Some items date back to
the 17th century. The Wallace Collection presented by Gibson’s is a
personal selection of their shared lifetime of collecting.

Property from the Collection of
the Late Harry & Masha Flicker
Lots 201–406

45
An architect-designed modernist 1960s house
in a quiet Toorak cul-de-sac gives little hint as
to the unusual trove that lies within. Upon entry,
an exotic oriental world unfolds, the singular
stylistic vision of Harry and Masha Flicker.
Born in Bratislava (now the capital of Slovakia),
Harry and Masha grew up in the same circle,
their respective grandfathers worked in business
together and there was a warm friendship
between the two families.
Between 1939-1941, the dislocation and threat
of German occupied Europe forced movement
of Jewish populations further east. Harry and
Masha’s families were sent first to collective
farms in Kazakhstan in Central Asia and then to
Siberian labour camps. Post-war, Harry’s family
secured passage to Australia, while Masha’s
family sought sanctuary and a new life in Israel.
The geographical separation did not diminish
the great bond between the families. About
eight years after the teenage Masha arrived
in Israel, Harry visited, returning to Australia
with Masha as his bride-to-be, aged about 22.
A new country, new language, and new customs,
while at times challenging, didn’t deter Masha as
she reconnected with extended family, friends
and acquaintances who bonded through their
wartime experiences.
Businessman, Harry, purchased the Toorak
family home in 1966, and it proved sufficiently
large to accommodate a family of two boys,
while leaving two rooms vacant and unused for
several years. Things were soon to change.
In 1970 Masha and Harry attended Expo in
Osaka, Japan. Despite the forward-looking
theme of the expo, Progress and Harmony
for Mankind, it was old Japan that captivated
the Flickers. Women in traditional kimono still
graced the local streets as they went about daily
life, and Masha, especially, was captivated.
Upon returning to Melbourne, she set about
transforming the unused rooms into exotic
galleries for her new-found interest. The rooms
were extended, a talented local joiner created
oriental-inspired fitted cabinetry and suitable
furnishings. The walls, windows and floors were
suitably adorned with papers and tatami mats
to create a moody interior. Oriental inspired
stained glass windows were commissioned.
Over the course of the next two decades
Masha collected woodblock prints, bronzes,
carvings, ivories, cloisonné, satsuma and
other porcelains – her interest broadening to
also embrace Chinese decorative arts and
furnishings. The exotic rooms were not merely
showpieces. They were the core of family life,
dinners and entertainment, and items were
used and enjoyed.
Masha developed a reputation as a willing buyer
amongst Melbourne dealers, one of whom
visited the house twice a week with suitable
objects, happy to relieve Mrs Flicker of her
housekeeping money, a practice that was both
meticulously recorded in a Spirax cash book and
warmly encouraged by the adoring Harry.
The love of the orient extended also to the
exterior with both Masha and Harry becoming
afficionados and collectors of bonsai of which
they had over fifty highly regarded specimens.
The back yard, too, was transformed into a
Japanese garden with bamboos, maples and
conifers set within gravel paths, water features
and a rockery.
Harry Flicker worked in business from 1959-1974
helping to build Worsted Finishers Australia
Pty Ltd. He acquired the business in 1975
renaming it, Flickers Dye House, which he grew
and diversified to become a noted supplier of
world-class services and products to the textile
and other industries. Flicker’s Pty Ltd continues
today and remains family owned.
Harry’s beloved Masha died in 1992 and Harry
passed away in 2021. This is their collection.

the nature of the property apart from the Limited
Warranty in the paragraph below. The property is
otherwise sold “as is”.
B) CATALOGUE AND OTHER DESCRIPTIONS
All statements by Gibson's in the catalogue entry
for the property or in the condition report, or made
orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of
opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements
of fact. Such statements do not constitute a
representation, warranty or assumption of liability
by Gibson's of any kind. References in the catalogue
entry to the condition report, including damage
or restoration are for guidance only and should be
evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or
a knowledgeable representative. The absence of

from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to
particular defects imply the absence of any others.

the item will sell or its value for any other purpose.
Neither Gibson's nor the Seller is responsible for
any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any

accepted first. Execution of written Bids is a free
service undertaken subject to other commitments
at the time of the Sale and we do not accept liability
for failing to execute a written Bid or for errors
or omissions which may arise. It is the Bidder’s

of telephone Bidding cannot be guaranteed due to
circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should

Gibson's will be liable for any special, incidental
nor consequential damages including, without
limitation, loss of profits not for interest.

15. Jewels, Watches & Gold
GEMSTONES
Gemstones have historically been subjected to a
variety of treatments to enhance their appearance.
Sapphire and rubies are routinely heat treated to
improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds
are frequently treated with oils or resin for the
same purpose. Other treatments such as staining
or dyeing, irradiation, filling or coating may have
been used on other precious and semi-precious
gemstones and organic material. These treatments
may be permanent, whilst others may need special
care to reserve their appearance. Buyers should
assume that each Lot has been subject to some
form of treatment and that the estimates reflect this.
A number of laboratories issue certificates that give
detailed descriptions of gemstones, and in the event
that Gibson's has been supplied with or obtained
certificates for any Lot, this shall be noted in the
catalogue. However, as there may not be consensus
between different laboratories on the degree, or
types of treatment of the gemstones, Gibson's
supplies these without warranty.
Buyers should assume that all gemstones sold
by Gibson's may have been subjected to such
treatments, and that the catalogue estimates
reflect this.
PEARLS
Pearls, like gemstones, are also subject to various
treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls
sold by Gibson's may have been subjected to such
treatments, and that the catalogue estimates
reflect this.
WATCHES
Please note: All watches sold by Gibson's are sold on
an “as is” basis. Gibson's makes no representation
or warranty that any watch is in working order. Many
watches have been repaired over their lifetime and
may contain non-original parts. The absence of any
reference to the condition of a watch does not imply
that the Lot is in good condition and without defects,
repairs or restorations. Buyers should be aware that
a general service, change of battery or further repair
work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible for,
may be necessary.
ESTIMATED WEIGHTS
If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed
out of the mount. If a stone has an estimated weight,
it is an approximate weight only and has been
measured by us in the mount and is a statement of
opinion only. The information is given as a guide only
and Buyers should satisfy themselves with regard to
this information as to its accuracy.
GOLD
Gold is sold in good faith that its purity is as
marked or hallmarked on the object. Should an
item have a gold content of 10% less than the
catalogued amount, Gibson’s will refund as per our
Terms and Conditions.
