146 lots are coming under the hammer on Sunday 12th February 2023 at Harrisons Antiques. They describe the sale as a “Very Rare Danish/Swedish and English mid-century ONLY” auction. The sale, which starts at 10.30am, consists of almost 150 lots; there’s a large selection of vintage sideboards, dining and coffee tables, desks and sets of dining chairs.
The buyer’s premium is 20% plus VAT. Bidding via EasyLiveAuction incurs a further fee of either a flat £3.00 or 3% of the total price.
Harrisons is located between between Barnsley and Doncaster in South Yorkshire if you’re interested in collecting any won items. If this isn’t a convenient option, they offer a postage service:
Small parcels (up to 1kg): £9+VAT
Medium parcels (1-3kg): £15+VAT
Delivery of furniture items to UK mainland for 1 item £85 excluding certain areas. Please contact us for more details on larger items and for more then one item. Also 2 man delivery also available.
Small items sent via parcel courier and sent at the buyers risk. Harrison’s will package to the best of our ability.
Coming up early next year, is a two-day auction of antique & general items; 1,595 lots to include a number of Ercol furniture pieces, a collection of Hermès & other silk scarves and a range of vintage cane, bamboo and rattan furniture.
The sale is being held by Churchill Auctions on Monday 9th January 2023 from 9:59am.
All lots sold will be subject to premium on the hammer price of 18% (Minimum of £1 per lot) + VAT payable on the premium – unless otherwise stated by an asterisk).
Live online bidding is available via EasyLiveAuction for just £3 per auction, or you can choose to pay 3.6% – choose the premium option if you intend to spend less than £100 (EasyLive’s fees are on top of our commission).
The auction house gives no lot estimates and offers only a limited postage service – so you may need to be willing to travel to Didcot in Oxfordshire to collect.
Eastbourne Auction will shortly be holding their Antiques, Collectables & General including jewellery sale. The online only auction starts on Wednesday 7th September 2022 from 10am. A humongous 2,454 lots will be available over the 3-day event.
There are a few of our regular favourites up for grabs; Troika studio pottery, Whitefriars studio glass and quite a few lots of various light elm Ercol furniture. One of my favourite items is the unusual Bernard Rooke vase.
The buyer’s premium stands at 30% inc. VAT (with a minimum of £2.40 per lot). Bidding is also available via The Saleroom and EasyLiveAuction. Please check each website’s additional charges.
We can arrange packing and / or shipping on your behalf for smaller non fragile items. We will email you a quote detailing the shipping method, and will ship when you have approved and paid for this service… For fragile and larger items we recommend Mailboxes Tunbridge Wells.
