About Us

Hordern House, founded by Anne McCormick and Derek McDonnell in 1985 and named for our original building in Sydney's Potts Point, is an internationally renowned dealership, specialising in rare books, manuscripts and paintings.

Always reflected in our extensive stock of rare and select material is our specialization in voyages and travels (with a special interest in the Pacific & Australia), natural history and colour-plate material, paintings and voyage art, historical maps and manuscripts.

We issue regular catalogues, some of which are published online only: all our recent catalogues can be seen via the menu on our home-page. 

To receive notice of new catalogues and an occasional email bulletin, please register here to join our emailing list.
