The Nye Furniture Collection

434 Lot Collection

The Nye Furniture Collection was assembled by the late Paul Nye. The collection is being dispersed over three sales. The first two sales are in July 2013 (SF18) and October 2013 (SF19); with a third at the start of May 2014 (FS22).

An Art Deco Adjustable Chair - just one of the pieces of Fine Furniture in the Nye Furniture collection.

This collection of fine furniture was assembled by the late Paul Nye who had an eye for furniture and wooden effects that ranged from traditional country furniture through to some very striking and stylish pieces.

He also had a soft spot for furniture inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement, which is well represented in the collection.

There are also some quirky items that are likely to become talking points amongst bidders.
