A Scholar's Study | The Collection of David Fuller

The Homes & Interiors Department proudly presents the Collection of David Fuller. David was a successful fine art consultant, known for his work with leading galleries and auction houses including Sotheby's and Christie's. 

He was also a regular visitor and friend of Sworders for many years - perhaps one of the reasons why our own Sworders specialists have much admired the collection. It is an assortment of intriguing and beautifully crafted items that once filled David’s study as his museum of personal findings.

Some of our favourite lots include Lot 42, a charming bronze figure of a greyhound and various snuff boxes, including Lot 128, made from the ruins of York Minster. The weird and wonderful continues with Lot 76, a tactile jelly mould and Lot 79, a Robert Race automata.

Among the studio pottery and porcelain is Lot 46, a creamware mug. This late 18th-century example features the heartfelt inscription: 'When this you see, Remember me And keep me in your mind'.

These alluring curiosities are only a small part of David's collection, with more featured in our March Fine Interiors and May Old Masters sales.
