This week we are hosting two fantastic specialist sales. On Tuesday 22nd March, the day starts at 11am with the Fine Art sale which will be followed by Silver & Objects of Vertu followed by the General sale.


The Fine Art sale 

We are delighted to offer a range of fresh discoveries and finds. Our selection includes good oils from the 17th to 20th Centuries, alongside superior watercolours, drawings of note and prints of stature.

We always keep an eye out for the unusual and the overlooked, and we never know what may walk in the door any day of the week... among the highlights in this sale is a rare collection of marine works - found in the back of a West London wardrobe - by the war artist, Frank Mason R.BA. R.I.
