In Person and Online
After an extraordinary 61 years on the King’s Road, Guinevere Antiques will be closing its doors for the final time this Christmas. To honour the legacy of this remarkable family-run business, Sworders is privileged to be hosting a landmark auction featuring nearly 500 exceptional lots, all to be offered without reserve.
Taking place at our Stansted Mountfitchet auction rooms on Tuesday 18 February 2025, this unique event will bring some of the alchemy of a beloved antiques emporium to market. Showcasing the quintessential Guinevere 'look', the auction will feature an eclectic mix spanning period lighting, furniture, textiles, decorative arts, and contemporary pieces.
Highlights include Louis XVI-style bronze twelve-branch chandeliers, Renaissance-style carved rouge marble lions, and a series of intricately carved wooden roof ornaments from a Thai palace - all reflecting the unique and timeless aesthetic that made Guinevere iconic.
