Last week's sales

13th September 2021

Last week’s sales of Victorian and Later Effects on Tuesday and Antiques and Collectables on Saturday proved that the interest in auctions is getting back to pre-Covid levels. The Saturday auction in particular saw many familiar faces as well as some new ones in the room, and, accompanied by a great number of telephone and online bids, realised a great total result.
Stars of the show included the three lots of Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson furniture, the collection of watches – including an 18ct gold ladies Cartier wristwatch for £ 2150 - a beautiful oil painting of a girl feeding a donkey with a St. Bernard by Alfred William Strutt (1856-1924) which sold for £ 2700, a set of two framed Battle of Britain medals for £ 1300, and a Chinese charger with writhing dragons engraved and in relief which sold for £ 890.
