Preview of July 2011 Fine Art Sale
Pink and Orange by Mary Fedden (Lot 334)
It is entirely fitting that the Summer Fine Sale should include recognisable luxury
items such as the Faberge cane handle (lot 248) and a Rolex Prince gentleman's wristwatch
(lot 173) and a good selection of paintings, whether your taste is more traditional
or contemporary.
Both Archibald Thorburn and Mary Fedden are certainly popular artists with Cock
and Hen Pheasant in a Landscape (lot 408) and Pink and Orange
(lot 334) being good examples of their work and with two works by David Shepherd
they are in good company.
No Fine Sale would be worthy of the name without some Chinese interest and whilst
there is a healthy section of Oriental ceramics and ivories all eyes will be on
the Jade boulder carving (lot 572) and although it has seen better day the 'Aged
Pine' bamboo and silver libation cup (lot 571).
Finally, if proof was needed that not all desirable items need to be classically
beautiful there is always the grotesque 'Martin Bros' spoonwarmer (lot 473).
