Items from the legendary singer's collection of antique and decorative furnishings to be offered in the Fine Interiors sale on Tuesday 11 September 2018.
The legendary Maggie May singer, who was knighted at Buckingham Palace in October 2016, is selling property locally in Essex. In need of a good old fashioned clear out, he approached the Stansted Mountfitchet auctioneers with his collection.
With estimates ranging from £60-£3,000, fans of the artist, who releases his 30th studio album “Blood Red Roses” on the 28 September, could now be in with a chance to own their very own piece of rock star memorabilia. The collection of over 60 lots includes a pair of gilt bronze-mounted side tables, estimated at £2,000-£3,000, a teak lounge armchair, with a cane back and a faux leopard print cushion, estimated at £250-£350, a pair of late 19th century pier mirrors, estimated at £2,000-£3,000 and a set of four gilt bronze two-branch wall lights, estimated at £800-£1,200.

The sale is open for viewing at Sworders’ Stansted Mountfitchet salerooms from 9am on Friday 7 September 2018.
On Saturday 5 July, Sworders was delighted to support St Mary’s Church, Matching, by hosting a special Valuation Day in aid of their much-needed restoration appeal. Set in the heart of the Essex countryside, the event welcomed a steady stream of visitors, each bringing with them an eclectic mix of heirlooms, antiques, and curiosities. Valuations were offered at £10 for up to five items, with all proceeds donated directly to the church’s restoration fund.

Few figures in the art and antiques world have shaped taste and defied convention quite like Ken Bolan. From the glamour of continental showrooms to the quiet beauty of rewilded West Country landscapes, Ken’s journey has been one of bold vision and creative instinct. This landmark sale, to be held on Wednesday 24 September, opens a window into that world – a personal collection amassed over five decades, filled with sculpture, furniture, and design with soul and story.
