The Collection of the late Sir Clinton Charles Donald Cory


The Fine Interiors department feel privileged to offer a private collection of Antiquities from the late Sir Clinton Charles Donald Cory, 5th Baronet of Coryton, in our March sale.

Cory was a lifelong aesthete and a collector of objets d’art and antiquities, in particular Attic pottery and numismatics, and revelled in meticulously cataloguing and archiving his collection. The selection of pottery, glass and stone fragments will be sold in twenty-four lots, with many coming with provenance from leading dealerships and auction houses such as Charles Ede, Sotheby's and Bonhams.
