Tuesday 17 & Wednesday 18 March PRIVATE COLLECTIONS SALE Following the excitement of our January sale of items from Spetchley Park, Chorley’s March auction provides another fascinating glimpse into the lives of the inhabitants of some of Britain’s great estates. The auction will feature printed maps, porcelain and paintings collected over centuries by families living in some of Britain’s most historic houses including Ombersley Court, Priors Court Forthampton and Spetchley Park. These are complemented by a wonderful array of antique boxes and tea caddies and 18th Century porcelain consigned to us by a private Cotswold collector.
Lot 400
The private Cotswold collection offers a good selection of English and European porcelain, including Worcester, Derby, Sevres and Meissen. Ranging from delicate botanical plates painted in pastel shades, such as a Derby sweet-pea plate Lot 379, £120-180, to showstoppers like a gold and green Worcester (Flight, Barr & Barr) vase on stand, Lot 346, £1,500-2,000, the collection has been carefully curated over many years and now makes a spectacular display in our saleroom.
From Ombersley Court, a pair of Worcester mask head jugs, circa 1785, are estimated at £800-1,200, Lot 404. Ceramics from the Priors Court Forthampton collection include two Worcester circular baskets with an estimated value of £400-600, Lot 400. From Spetchley Park comes a First Period Worcester double tea service, circa 1770, estimated to achieve £500-700, Lot 423.
