Summary

Margaret Vine's passion and love of collecting developed during her time living in Brisbane in the 60s and 70s. She purchased Australian jewellery, pottery, rugs and some Victorian furniture. She later worked at the Australian National Gallery as a library research officer attached to the Australian Art Department. Publications by Mary Eagle and Roger Butler greatly benefited from her exacting research. Vine retired to Magnetic Island where she volunteered for organisations and would make frequent trips to Canberra and Sydney (for the opera). The Margaret Vine Estate of Applied Arts was auctioned by Leonard Joel, Sale: IT012, 5 June 2018. [Roger Butler, 2026].
