Preview of January 2012 Fine Art Auction in Exeter

Nic Saintey previews the forthcoming fine art sale, which is to be held over two days in Exeter (Devon) on 25th and 26th January 2012, which is already generating considerable interest.

As is usual there is a healthy selection of Chinese porcelain, including mark and period Kangxi (Lot 337) and Guangxu (Lot 338) examples and also a good bronze inlaid censer (Lot 465) and an imposing jade, coral and ivory inlaid hard wood table screen (Lot 437) estimated at £8,000-12,000.

The sale also includes a section of Maritime interest and of note is (Lot 240) Reuben Chappell's oil on board captioned Lewisham of Bideford, Captain J Slade, no doubt a vessel that plied it's trade on both sides of the Bristol Channel, where the products of Cambrian Works at Swansea (Lots 378, 379, 380, 390, 392) or the collection of architypal Welsh love spoons (Lots 409-418) would have been familiar.
