Some stunning pieces of his highly prized works including an Australia inspired cocktail cabinet, card table and ornate mirrors were gifted to Mont De Lancey by his granddaughter Mrs Dorothy Adamson for permanent display.
The Mont De Lancey Collection

The Mont De Lancey Collection comprises works acquired by the award of an annual acquisitive cash prize for the work adjudged the best of the annual exhibition and will be complete in 2010. The Collection was officially launched by the Honorable Sir Rupert Hamer in 1995 and is displayed in The Ray Oliver Gallery. The show is held in September each year and is restricted to artists residing in the Shire of Yarra Ranges.
