Clearly assembled with a penchant for traditional style and an eye for quality, notable highlights include a late 18th-century Dutch japanned cabinet purchased from Glaisher & Nash and a set of eight George III mahogany armchairs from Stair & Co., which were exhibited at the Grosvenor House Antiques Fair in 1996. Additionally - and in keeping with the late-summer timing of the sale – the collection also includes a group of garden ornaments which are sure to inspire bidders, including a neoclassical stone capital and a pair of 19th-century terracotta urns originally from Sandon Hall in Staffordshire.

With such emphasis on quality and authenticity in today’s antiques market, provenance is a significant factor that sets something apart from the rest. Luckily, many of the items in this collection come with their original bills of sale, creating a clear trail of ownership that only adds to their desirability.
