Andrew Shirley, Head of Luxury Research at Knight Frank, shares the latest
findings from our Luxury Investment Index (KFLII)
hisky surged straight to the top
of KFLII when we introduced it
to the index at the end of 2018
to reflect the growing interest from UHNWI
collectors, particularly in China and the
wider Asia-Pacific region.
Since then, market growth – as
measured by the Knight Frank Rare Whisky
100 Index, compiled for us by the experts at
Rare Whisky 101 – has moderated slightly,
but prices still rose by 23% during the 12
months to the end of June, far ahead of any
of the other asset classes in the index.
Andy Simpson of Rare Whisky 101 says a
steep downturn in prices for The Macallan
– a mainstay of the investment market
by both volume and value – coupled with
plenty of supply, was one of the main
reasons the index stuttered, but he
predicts values will rise again during the
rest of 2019.
“Things have since picked up
significantly, so we’re expecting a wholly
better set of results at the year end.”
Elsewhere in the KFLII, we have seen
a mixed picture among some of the more
mainstream asset classes. Growth in the
classic car market, for example, has slipped
into reverse gear, but investment-grade
wine and art have both performed strongly.
Supercars
Dietrich Hatlapa of HAGI, which provides
our classic car data, says the dip is down to
speculative investors leaving the market
to genuine enthusiasts who are more
circumspect about paying over the odds
for vehicles.

However, the most desirable cars are
still fetching big money. A McLaren F1

Andrew Shirley curates a special focus looking at the latest trends shaping the
luxury investment landscape in Australia
hen it comes to investments
of passion in Australia, art
is the most collected asset
class, according to our research. It is also
currently setting the pace in terms of price
growth if recent auction sales are anything
to go by.
At its Important Australian Art sale in
August, Sotheby’s Australia hammered
works worth in total over AU$12 million,
a record sum. Records were achieved for
three artists: William Dobell, Peter Booth
and Cressida Campbell.
The top seller was Mountain Creek,
Mount Kosciusko by Fred Williams.
Estimated to make between AU$800,000
and AU$1.2 million, the oil on canvas work
eventually sold for AU$1.7 million.
Earlier in the year, also Seafood Paella
set a record for John Olsen, often referred
to as Australia’s greatest living artist.
The six-metre oil panel was sold for just
W
over AU$1 million by Sotheby’s Australia
in April, more than doubling the artist’s
previous record.
“Over the past several years, it has
been immensely pleasing to see the artists
we champion receive the recognition
they deserve, with commercial results
increasingly reflecting the depth of artistic
merit Australia has to offer,” says Geoffrey
Smith, Chairman of Sotheby’s Australia.
“Indeed, we are seeing stronger
engagement from our clients than ever
and our results are reflecting this demand
– with record prices being achieved
regularly for both long established and
contemporary artists,” he adds.
However, while prices have risen
strongly, a detailed analysis by Art Market
Research (AMR) shows the market is still
some way from its peak.
“An index of 14 of the best performing
Australian 20th Century artists reveals a
much more mixed picture,” explains AMR’s
Sebastian Duthy. “Average values are
now half their peak in 2012 after changes
in Australian government regulations,
including artist resale rights and pension
fund rules, had a negative impact on prices.
“But as this year’s auction results
suggest prices are showing recovery at the
top end of the market. The average value
of the index is up 95% from 2015, which
was the lowest point since 2007,” points
out Mr Duthy.
Interest in Australian art, however,
is not restricted to works being snapped
up by private collectors, explains Owen
Craven, Senior Curator at UAP – a global
public art and design firm.
“Australian art is so exciting right now.
With the advent of the art fair over the past
decade, our galleries and artists have been
afforded exposure to the global market and
this has pushed artists’ boundaries into the
global context.
“It’s hard to pinpoint any one artist but
Lindy Lee is an artist whose practice is
gaining global recognition. We are proud
to be delivering public commissions with
her in cities around the globe including
Shanghai and New York.”

“The Glenlivet released The Winchester
Collection, which is comprised of three
single malts that have been resting in our
cellars for fifty years. The 1964 edition
was laid down by Captain William Smith
Grant, the last distilling descendant of
The Glenlivet’s founder. It is an extremely
limited release, with only one hundred
bottles available and it provides an
incredible tangible link to the distillery’s
rich history.”
Rarity could also boost the demand for
a “home-grown” Australian investment
of passion. The imminent closure of
the Argyle mine in Western Australia,
which produces many of the world’s
pink diamonds, may help support price
growth. Pink diamonds already outperform
blue and yellow stones, according to the
Fancy Color Research Foundation, which
provides data for the Knight Frank Luxury
Investment Index.
Fine Wine
While Australian craft malt whisky
production has cranked up in response to
the surge in demand – in 2014 there were
nine distilleries on Tasmania, now there
are 32 – and is winning awards around
the world, the country’s most famous
home-produced alcoholic beverage is still
wine. And values for the best bottles are
powering ahead.
“Penfolds Grange Bin 95 has entered
the Knight Frank Fine Wine Icons leader
board with growth of 25% over the last 12
months,” says Nick Martin of Wine Owners,
which compiles the index for us.

Fairfax & Roberts is Australia’s
oldest jewellery house. How did
it all begin?
Richard Lamb, who had emigrated from
London to Sydney in 1836 and established
himself as a jeweller and optician was
joined by Alfred Fairfax – of the Fairfax
publishing family – to create Sydney’s first
emporium for fine silver and watchmaking
at 394 George St – already the bustling
artery of the growing city. When Fairfax
& Roberts first opened its doors in 1858, a
journey of luxury bespoke jewellery began.
One of our early achievements in 1873
was the design and production of the iconic
tower time piece that still marks Sydney’s
Central Station. Over our 160-year history,
we have crafted treasured possessions
and heirlooms for princes, governors and
many of Australia’s finest families, and we
are proud to say that many of our earliest
pieces are still in use today.
Your history has run pretty much
in tandem with the creation
of modern Australia. Have the
country’s milestones been
reflected in your jewellery?
While the jewellery of the time was much
influenced by European styles, Australian
jewellers such as Lamb and Fairfax made
their own mark on the craft by producing
pieces that strongly reflected Australia’s
identity as a colony. Women’s brooches
often featured native flora and fauna, set
with European silver, around a cameo or
mosaic. Gentleman’s jewellery consisted
of ornate breast pins, studs and gold watch
chains, which signified status and style
within a conservative period.
The discovery of gold in the 1850s
brought a gold rush to New South Wales
and Victoria, and with it Australia’s
prosperity and population grew. Along
with a new wave of immigration came
new styles of jewellery. Australia’s gold
rush attracted fortune seekers from
around the world, a number of whom were
jewellers. At a time when photography
did not yet exist, souvenir jewellery that
literally depicted life, and success, on the
goldfields was very popular. Brooches
often featured mining equipment

Style and service
The captivating architectural façade,
designed by the genius WilkinsonEyre,
is only a taste of the lifestyle behind its
walls. Step into interiors designed by
New York-based Meyer Davis Studios and
immediately you are swept off your feet.
The interior design emanates warmth
and entertaining is front of mind; focal
living spaces destined to bring people
together, thanks to design elements such
as European oak floors, ripple textured
bronze glass, polished stainless steel and
stunning veined marble slabs from the
best quarries in the world.
A fortunate few will have a choice of
two, three or four-bedroom Residences
with a single, six-bedroom duplex
penthouse also available. All oversized
of course.
With location, views, design and
certainty being everything, what is left?
Service of course.
As Australia’s leading hospitality
provider, it seems the most natural fit that
Crown Resorts would step in to provide its
award-winning service.
“We are confident that our residents will
appreciate the unique offering of this iconic
building, brought to the market by Crown
Resorts, which has a 20-year track record of
delivering luxury hospitality in Australia,”
says the company’s Todd Nisbet.
Life at Crown Residences will be about
ease and convenience, with modern
amenities such as in-residence dining,
where meals are prepared by the integrated
six-star hotel or, if you feel so inclined,
you can venture to one of the in-house,
handpicked restaurants situated downstairs.
