Auction alert: Garden furniture & statuary

Late 20th century painted resin figure of a stag

Back when my parents owned an antique shop in Kemptown in Brighton, they’d go weekly to Watsons Auctions in Heathfield, East Sussex. Watsons, as well as Gorringe’s in Lewes, were my mum & dad’s main channels for acquiring fresh stock for their shop. I seem to remember Justin and me going a few times, too, when we lived down there.

With spring finally springing and lots of us itching to get outside and get our hands dirty, it’s a great time to highlight the upcoming garden furniture & statuary auction taking place at Watsons on Friday 3rd May, from 9:30am. There are 232 lots in the sale, to include plant pots and planters, troughs, water features, garden ornaments and much more besides.

We picked up this small bronze sculpture today and were very taken by the design. Long, sinuous limbs and strong facial features. We thought it had something of the Alberto Giacometti about it.
