Browsing through their catalogue, there are some super lots; many unusual and rare finds. Items span the years; from a 20th century Whitefriars vase to an 18th century child’s rocking chair.
There’ll be 1,203 lots up for sale across three days:

We’ve picked out eleven of our favourite items. There’s an pair of exquisite cufflinks made by Fabergé (for that notorious “man who has everything”), a pair of bat sconces that would look perfect on the wall of a Gothic themed hallway and an exceptional lay figure that has an estimate of 4-6 thousand that we think will sell for much more.
