7TH & 8TH FEBRUARY

Highlights from the collection of Moorcroft |
Our highly successful two-day Pictures, Ceramics and Collectables auction realised over £100,000 and included several noteworthy results. Top of the lots was a substantial single-owner collection of contemporary Moorcroft consigned by an Oswestry vendor with a 100% sell rate. Highlight items include a limited edition Moorcroft vase in the Ryden Lane pattern designed by Rachel Bishop in 1999, which sold for £2,700 to an American buyer who held off the competition from another bidder. Other leading prices in the ceramics section, which totalled nearly £55,000, were a mixed lot of Royal Doulton, including three rare but damaged figures, which made £2,200 and a set of nine Saxonian Napoleonic era military soldiers which sold for £1,250.
Day two of the sale saw similar successes, and we were delighted to put the hammer down on a 1950s Ami jukebox to a local collector for £3,600. In the painting section, a particularly charming 19th-century oil painting of a Racehorse with Jockey by Fred Henderson sold for over triple the bottom estimate at £950. This new sale format with specialist sale categories has proven to be lucrative for vendors and buyers, and we now welcome entries for our next calendared Pictures, Ceramics and Collectables sale on 26th June.
