Dr Robert Wilson was a passionate supporter of the decorative arts who is acknowledged as one of the most significant benefactors to the Decorative Arts Department of the National Gallery of Victoria.

 

For many years he steadily gifted works from his remarkable collection of 19th century ceramics and glass, including Minton and Thomas Webb. Whilst a large portion of the Robert Wilson Collection was gifted to the National Gallery of Victoria in his lifetime a significant representation of his many years as a keen collector remains and includes a wonderful selection of ceramics including Worcester, Copeland, Burmantofts, Doulton and Minton, fine art and a world class collection of Great Exhibition and Exposition pieces.

 

It is with great pleasure that Gibson’s, Auctioneers and Valuers offers the collection of Dr. Robert Wilson as our inaugural sale.
