Gibson’s is pleased to announce that Australian Book Auctions (ABA), the country’s leading specialist auction house for rare books, manuscripts, historical documents, prints, and maps, will now be based at Gibson’s offices at 885–889 High Street, Armadale each Monday.
Founded in 1999, ABA is renowned for its scholarly expertise, market knowledge, and professional integrity. The team of Jonathan Wantrup, Barbara Hince and Gavin de Lacy, has built an outstanding reputation, setting numerous national records for both single items and significant private and institutional collections.

“This is an exciting alignment of two respected houses with a shared passion for history, quality and connoisseurship,” said Gibson’s CEO, Jennifer Gibson, “their longstanding expertise and specialist services reflect our own values and we are delighted to welcome ABA to our rooms.”
To book an appointment or discuss a potential consignment, please contact Gavin or Barbara on 0486 007 920.
