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.

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.
