Silver set to shine at earlier than usual sale

Silver set to shine at earlier than usual sale

DEE, Atkinson and Harrison have switched the date for their forthcoming antiques and fine art sale - to avoid a clash with the Royal Wedding.

The auction will take place next Thursday April 28, instead of the following day.

The 695 lot auction starts at 9.30am with a strong silver section dominated by lot 83 - an extremely large and impressive Continental stein, 22 inches high and weighing almost 104ozs. Estimated at £2,500 - £3,500, the lidded tankard is illustrated on the front cover of the catalogue.

The price of silver is at an all time high so there is likely to be huge interest in the other lots of flatware, teaware, salvers, bowls and dishes, vesta cases and vinaigrettes by makers such as Tiffany and Co, Liberty and Co, and dates from the Georgian period through to modern pieces.

The silver plate section includes a good pair of Victorian silver on copper entrée dishes and an unusual Victorian cased seven piece dessert serving set.

There are almost 100 lots of jewellery, watches and coins, including high value diamond rings, a tennis bracelet and earrings, gold and silver pocket and fob watches, wristwatches by Rolex, Omega, Movado, and a Garrard diamond set lady’s cocktail watch.

There is also a selection of gold sovereigns and half sovereigns and a Cartier gold plated lighter.

The miscellaneous section includes a varied amount of collectors items from edged weapons and woodworking tools to novelty walking canes and early golf clubs.

Also included is a selection of 19th Century boxes and caddies, tribal items, samplers, metalware and mirrors.

There are about one hundred lots of 18th/19th/20th Century ceramics, including examples of 18th Century English porcelain and an eathernware globular vase, possibly Linthorpe by Dr Christopher Dresser, discovered hidden in a dry stone wall in West Yorkshire, full of coins, the weight of which had broken the base of the vase.

The glass section includes 18th Century opaque and air-twist wine glasses, 19th Century overlay and Cranberry vases and modern collectables such as Lalique and Whitefriars.

The Works of Art include an excellent private collection of carved ivory figures, predominately Japanese, including both okimono and netsuke, and a fine pair of early 19th Century Chinese school paintings on copper of harbour scenes, estimated at £3000 - £4,000.

The revival of the antique furniture market has perhaps encouraged entries in this section with almost 100 lots from the 18th Century through to the 20th Century.

As always there is a good showing of local artists within the paintings/prints sections with a signed oil by Frederick William Elwell of an East Yorkshire river landscape showing his own converted houseboat “Spowder” moored amongst reeds. Another Fred Elwell depicts a portrait of Florence Elwell and there are four paintings by Walter Goodin.
