Antiques & Collectibles We’re sure you have vroom for this!
March sees the first of three classic car, motorcycle and automobilia auctions of the year with Clarke’s first sale being held on Sunday, 14th March. Motorcycles remain very sought after in the current market, with enthusiasts adding to their collections and new connoisseurs starting their adventures. In the motorcycle section we have all the marques one would expect from the rock’n’roll era including a Triumph Daytona from a Somerset collector, BSA A7 Golden Flash which needs light recommissioning after a short spell in storage and Velocette Mac from a client in Dorset. If your budget doesn’t stretch to a new classic for the garage you can still come out to play and join the online auction as there will be automobilia for the office, home or man-cave. Automobilia covers a wide area with enamel signs, mascots, books, sales brochures, luggage, spares and models of various scales and materials. One such model is a large scratch-built tinplate example made just after the Second World War, inspired by the style of a 1930s Rolls Royce open tourer. Measuring an impressive 14 inches in length it would certainly make a bold statement piece in any interior setting. Clarke’s are still accepting entries into this sale – contact Matt Whitney at the main office. Appointments are still being made to appraise items suitable for entry into any of their future sales so please call the office to make arrangements for a home visit following Government guidelines. Enquiries to Richard Clarke or Karen Marshall on 01747 855109 at the salerooms in Semley,
1970 Triumph Daytona. Estimate £5,000 - £5,500
Wonderful collection of silver toys on offer in Duke’s sale
Duke’s Auctioneers of Dorchester are delighted to be able to offer a staggering collection of Dutch silver toys. This collection was initially formed by Edgar Frederick Marie Yustin, Baron Michiels Van Verduynen, a wealthy businessman and distinguished diplomat, shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War.
The Winter Auction 25th & 26th February 10:30am
Bid online, by telephone, by commission bid www.dukes-auctions.com 01305 265 080 enquiries@dukes-auctions.com
Verduynen became the Dutch Ambassador to the Court of St James’s. The toys, kept in the Dutch embassy in London, made their way home after the war, when Verduynen moved his family to Clingendael, a 17th century manor house on the edge of The Hague which had been occupied by the Nazis during the war. The toys include some exceptionally rare and wellpreserved examples from some of the leading silver toy makers of the 17th and 18th centuries. A rare baby stroller by Arnoldus Van Geffen (fl. 1728 – 1769) with an estimate of £200-£400 and a Samovar bearing the mark of Johannes van Somerwil, est £300-£600. Baron Michiels Van Verduynen died without an heir and the collection passed down through the family to the closest relatives, the family of the Barons Van Tuyll van Serooskerken.
