Beauden and Hannah Barrett appear to have decorated their new Remuera home with a pricey piece of investment art.
It is understood the All Black No 10 and his influencer wife paid $4.8 million in August to buy her parents' Remuera mansion. Since then Hannah has been selling furniture from their Wellington home through social media, and started settling into their new home at the end of last year.
Of all the social media posts Hannah shared, one stood out - featuring a striking Karl Maughan painting which Spy understands can fetch anywhere from $25,000 to $35,000 at auction.
Maughan's garden-themed art is some of New Zealand's most recognisable. With a career now spanning more than three decades, his work hangs in the lobby of the SkyCity Grand and homes of the well-heeled throughout New Zealand. Spy understands there is even one of his pieces at the New Zealand Consulate in New York. Much of his work is sold through Gow Langsford in Auckland.
