Waimea House sits on a 9,726-square-metre-holding with a pool, tennis court, and a smaller second residence with Art Deco influences.

• It had only been sold nine months earlier in 2011 for a record $6.06 million. Its latest buyer is the low-key investment banker Greg Woolley from Point Piper, Sydney.
• He was born in Hobart in 1973 and is understood to have admired the home since childhood.
  
  
• Waimea was sold by prominent Hobart family, the Nettlefolds, who then sold $1 million-plus of its contents through Mossgreen Auctions.
• Many regard the landmark property as occupying the finest position in Hobart, with harbour views and complete privacy.
• The property had previously been in the Nettlefold family ownership for 70 years until sold in early 2011.
• The prominent Hobart family had consolidated a four-block amalgamation over the past 70 years.
  
  
• The Sandy Bay property was marketed as Hobart's most prestigious and distinguished residential estate by Brian Watchorn of Charlotte Peterswald for Property.
  “This landmark property occupies the finest position in Hobart with stunning harbour views, complete privacy and surrounding land with an overall area of 9,726 square metres or thereabouts,” the brochure says.
• The late Len Nettelfold, a successful businessman and Australian amateur golf champion, was the son of Tasmanian Motors founder Robert Nettlefold. The family had the General Motors dealership on the island, which was subject to a 1982 takeover bid by then young entrepreneur Christopher Skase, who made a reputed $1.5 million plus from his brief foray.

'Elegant' Federation Furniture

After the heaviness, clutter and dark colours of Victorian interiors, people wanted something new and cheerful. 
Edwardian style was a breath of fresh air.
The Federation period covers the years between 1890 to 1920.

from the Timeless Interiors website

• The trend to simpler, squarer and more easily manufactured pieces continued into the 20th century.
• Australian cedar-wood was becoming scarce and was rarely used except in cedar growing areas, like the Hunter;
• elsewhere, blackwood, pine and oak were used.

Edwardian Soft Furniture

• The Edwardian period is noted for its lighter aesthetic
• artistic styles encompass the use of bright colors and emotional strokes to represent high society,

From About Edwardian Furniture | eHow.com -

Art Nouveau Walnut Sideboard c.1900

• The Edwardian period is identified with the reign of King Edward VII of England, son of Queen Victoria. King Edward succeeded to the throne in 1901. He died in 1910.
• The Victorian period had been marked by dark, jewel-toned colors and heavy furnishings. Interiors were filled with velvets and jacquard fabrics, ornately carved furniture and layered window treatments.

Identification

• The art nouveau influence is evident in the design of Edwardian furniture.
• Edwardian furniture was also influenced by Neoclassical and Art Deco designs.
• The Edwardian period is also one of revivalism, what may be termed in contemporary times as eclectic.
• Edwardian furniture did away with most carving, replacing it with grape leaf and feminine form engraving.
• The primary influences for this period were the art deco and Neoclassical artisans.
• The more popular furniture piece that was invented during this era was the wing chair.
• A popular material that was introduced during the Edwardian period is bamboo or wicker. The airiness was a relief from the heavy Victorian style. An Edwardian-style wicker chair will have a broad, arched back and curled arms. The seat will have a brightly colored cushion with a bold print. The broad back and curled arms is a common trait in Edwardian furniture, often seen in couches and wing-back chairs of the period.
