This eclectic single-day sale offers 176 lots spanning fine silver, decorative arts, militaria, cameras, jewellery, and collectables from the Georgian period to the present day.
Highlights include an extensive selection of Georgian and later silver, from Hester Bateman sugar tongs to novelty pieces such as an Elizabeth II silver fox bottle opener, alongside elegant dressing table boxes and enamelled accessories. Decorative arts feature Chinese cloisonné and jade, Italian silver roses, and a diverse range of ceramics including Fielding’s Royal Devon, Bourne Denby, New Hall, and Copenhagen figures.
Photography enthusiasts will find an impressive array of vintage and modern cameras, with marques including Canon, Nikon, Panasonic Lumix, Rolleiflex, Mamiya, and Zenza Bronica, complemented by high-quality lenses and accessories.
The militaria section presents both First and Second World War medals, death plaques, cap badges, sweetheart brooches, and notable items such as an Oxfordshire Police truncheon and a First World War Verner’s Pattern compass. Collectors of vintage writing instruments can bid on Montblanc fountain pens, rollerballs, and ballpoints in excellent condition.
Additional treasures include a brass-caged singing bird automaton, Franklin Mint bronzes, a Friedrich Simon porcelain fish service, and Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes silver and enamel jewels.
