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.
Bronze Inlaid Censer. FS13/465.
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.

There is also on offer the largest selection of clocks and watches we have had for
a number of years, the most noteworthy perhaps being the John Ebsworth, 17th century
brass lantern clock (Lot 507) retaining its original escape wheel and estimated
at £5,000-£7,000.
John Ebsworth, 17th century brass lantern clock. FS13/507.
