Rose Porteous to hold luxury estate sale
The fine art, Persian rugs and luxury furniture of William and Rose Porteous will go on sale this weekend, as the couple look to offload several valuable items from their collections.
William Porteous, 81, a prominent luxury real estate agent, and Rose Porteous, 77, have been central figures in WA public life for over three decades.
The couple’s high-profile marriage in 1992 followed the death of Rose’s third husband, iron ore billionaire Lang Hancock.
Journalist Justin Fris speaks with some of the WA-based juniors working closely with stakeholders overseas in often-challenging environments.
