Auction alert: Antique & general items

Vintage marble fruit

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.

Get their look: Memphis-inspired artist’s home

Memphis-inspired artist's home in Manchester city centre

We often choose an artist’s residence as our weekly featured Get their look home. Today, it’s a Memphis-inspired, new-build, city centre flat; a little bit of Italy in the middle of Manchester.

On his Instagram feed, Michael Pybus titles his home like he would a work of modern art; Home (Living room, kitchen, studio, hallway) 2022 – 61m² / 656ft².

His living space is a seamless meld of high-end, vintage Italian design and classic, mass-produced IKEA with a backdrop of bright, primary colours.

Pybus explains his taste in a recent Apartment Therapy interview:

My style is quite plasticky, hard edged and artificial but I also do really appreciate nature and natural forms which is what drew me to setting up and growing a mini coral reef.
