TO INCLUDE N Sold on behalf of the Terry Family of York (Terry’s chocolates) The Terry family have long held a great interest in art and antiques, stretching back across the generations to Sir Joseph Terry (1828-1898), who was Governor of the Yorkshire Fine Art and Industrial Institution, now York Art Gallery. Since then, the family have had a strong and continuing interest in the antiques world, and the family collection has gradually evolved with acquisitions and dispersals over the generations. During the 20th century, the collection was greatly influenced by Noel G Terry, a well-known collector of antiques and clocks whose own collection is now housed in Fairfax House, York, and by Noel’s father-inlaw H.E. Leetham who became Chairman of Terry’s during the First World War. In later years, the collection was added to by the late Carin Terry, who having been born in Sweden brought a more Continental taste as well as a love of the English Georgian period.
