In Person and Online
It is with great pleasure that we share the full catalogue for our June auction, comprising over 650 lots of fine furniture, works of art, sculpture, and carpets to delight and inspire.
Leading the sale is the collection of Mr and Mrs Francis Anthony Brinsley Valentine, with many pieces descending from the Earls of Lanesborough at Swithland Hall, Leicester.
We are also delighted to present property from a number of other notable collections and distinguished individuals, including James Hamilton, 5th Duke of Abercorn, Frederick Parker, James Thursby-Pelham Esq., Judith Appio, and – following the success of the first instalment in our March Fine Interiors sale – a further group of lots from The Richard Collins Collection.
Alongside these collections, we are pleased to offer the contents of two distinct, though equally stylish, London interiors: 14 Prior Street and 18 Thurloe Square.
