Country Living brings together an evocative and characterful selection of traditional furniture, rural interiors and country home pieces, celebrating the warmth and practicality of classic English country style.
At the heart of the sale is a strong offering of oak furniture, including a late 17th to early 18th century joint refectory table and a substantial country house refectory table with matching high back dining chairs, perfectly suited to farmhouse and period interiors. Storage pieces are equally well represented, with a George III oak dresser base, a 19th century teak military chest and an impressive early 20th century sacristy vestment chest providing both functionality and presence. Seating includes a charming child’s Orkney chair and a 19th century pitch pine settle, reflecting traditional craftsmanship and rustic appeal.
The sale is further enhanced by a selection of pictures and decorative works inspired by rural life, including sporting and animal scenes, alongside naïve and 19th century paintings. Highlights include hunting and shooting subjects, as well as more intimate depictions of animals, capturing the spirit of the countryside.
Decorative and country house pieces continue throughout the catalogue, from hand-painted panels and ceramics to bronze animal sculpture and taxidermy, including a white-tailed deer mount. A mid 19th century Minton dinner service adds to the traditional country house feel.
Altogether, the sale offers a rich and atmospheric collection of furniture and works of art, ideal for those looking to furnish a country home or bring a touch of rural character into a modern setting. Explore the full catalogue now and place your bids.
