After a challenging and unpredictable 2021, our auctions in all categories conducted during the present year have given us considerable cause for optimism. Collectors and dealers are as active as ever and any items of quality, even if of modest value, are pursued with enthusiasm. Immediately an auction goes online our specialists are fully engaged with preparing written or verbal condition reports and this has become very much part of the service we are happy to provide. With normal physical viewing fully back in place and ever-increasing activity via the internet, the future looks bright.
We now have three online bidding platforms for prospective buyers to choose from including our own recently introduced live bidding platform, for which no charge is made. As always, we welcome clients old and new to our premises, whether on a view day or to consult with one of our specialists.
Some recent highlights include from the Spring Fine Sale 2022:
- A rare Spanish Renaissance coffer in spite of being in poor condition fetched and excellent £8,500 + buyer’s premium (estimate £1,000-2,000).
- A fine Chinese famille rose yellow ground bowl, Daoguang at £29,000 + buyer’s premium (estimate £5,000-7,000).
