Alongside collectables and jewellery, our monthly sales regularly include antiques, paintings and fine silver, many of them coming straight from private homes and estates. Here are some of the standout results from the past eighteen months.
Paintings and prints
A James Webb oil on canvas, A View of Paris Looking Towards Notre Dame, signed lower left, led our March 2025 two-day sale at £3,500. Webb was a British landscape and marine painter, and his continental city views are particularly sought after. In the same sale, an oil by François-Antoine Bossuet made £2,700.
Prints by significant artists do well too: an Anders Zorn etching, The Two (1916), signed in pencil, led our February 2026 sale at £420.
Silver
Fine silver by good makers attracts both collectors and the trade. A C.J. Vander solid silver canteen of cutlery for twelve made £3,000 in March 2025, and a pair of hallmarked silver coffee pots and a sugar bowl by Wakely & Wheeler for Garrard & Co, London 1953, weighing 1,780g, led our June 2025 timed auction at £900.
Clocks, instruments and curiosities
A George III ebonised table clock with a double fusée movement, on bracket feet and complete with its pendulum, led our November 2025 two-day sale at £2,300. Other highlights include an antique violin by George Duncan of Glasgow at £1,700 (August 2025) and a 19th or early 20th century anatomical teaching skeleton at £1,650 (April 2026).
Ceramics and Asian works of art
A good collection of Zsolnay porcelain made £1,100 in May 2026, and a pair of antique Chinese blue and white gourd vases bearing a Liberty & Co sticker reached £520 in June 2026.
