The Country House Sale

18/09/2021

David Duggleby Auctioneers latest Country House Auction offers an impressive selection of antiques, from silver and glass, to English, Continental, and Oriental ceramics, alongside taxidermy, lighting, clocks, and rugs, and an array of furniture including Country Oak and Yorkshire Oak.

The sale opens with a fine selection of English and Continental silver, including a large and impressive Georgian style salver by Elkington & Co, and a good set of George III silver navette salts; as well as number of later 20th century pieces, and two late 19th century Danish examples.

Following a varied glass section with pieces spanning from the 18th to 20th century, the ceramics features desirable names including Liverpool, Worcester, Minton, Berlin and Meissen. Whilst the Oriental porcelain also showcases a range of lots, including a wonderful private collection of late 18th/early 19th century Chinese export blue and white dinner wares.

Other notable lots within the sale include a French bronze and ivory Art Deco figure by Joe Descomps, two Blue John urns, and George Edwards’ A Natural History of Uncommon Birds, and of Some Other Rare and Undescribed Animals, in seven volumes with hand coloured plates.

The second half of the sale begins with a clock section which features an elegant miniature longcase clock in yew wood case and a highly decorative 19th century French ormolu and champlevé enamel mantel clock.

The furniture catalogue boasts a good and wide selection of furnishings from occasional pieces to statement pieces, including an extensive selection of lounge furniture and upholstery featuring names such as Howard & Co and Harris Tweed.

There is a good selection of decorative wall mirrors; a highlight would be the large Victorian gilt wood and gesso overmantel mirror with carved and pierced scallop top.

The country furniture and oak section of the sale features an unusual pair of late 17th century oak spindle-back chairs, as well as a selection of chest, Windsor armchairs, dressers, stools and tables. This section is mainly composed of two local estates in Nunnington and Sandsend.

An interesting and exciting consignment is a small Arts & Crafts chestnut wood cabinet by Ernest Gimson. The cabinet comes to us with a good provenance and is fresh to market.

The sale ends with a 40 lot section of Yorkshire oak including; Mouseman, Gnomeman, Acornman, Rabbitman and Oakleafman. A good selection of Persian carpets, rugs and runners. And a small section of garden effects.

This Country House Sale is curated by our Specialists to include selected lots from Country Estates and Private Vendors throughout North and East Yorkshire. The sale is compiled with a range of Fine & Country Furniture, decorative Antiques, collectors’ items and furnishings available under the hammer to the highest bidder.
