 MASCO AT GRAND DESIGNS LIVE JUNE 10-12
See MASCo's huge reclamation feature at Kevin McCloud's Grand Designs Live at ExCel London, alongside the likes of Dermot Gavin's garden feature, from Friday June 10th to Sunday June 12th when the Ascot Bandstand will be auctioned at the show.
'All the drama and eclecticism of our Cotswold yard will be re-created at ExCel in London's Docklands, providing a terrific opportunity for both public and trade visitors to view and buy from our extensive stock, and meet the experts. Grand Designs Live is the three dimensional, living, breathing live event version of the hit TV show and magazine. Its unique layout is zoned into Grand Interiors, Grand Kitchens and Bathrooms, Grand Gardens and finally Grand Build, where you will find our magnificent reclamation feature,' says MASCO's press release. For further information please contact Annabel Britton at MASCO on 01285 760 886, or email masco@catbrain.com
NOTE: The Ascot Bandstand was built in 1927 by the Lion Foundry in Scotland, and was recently bought by MASCO during demolition at the famous Royal Ascot race course. The gates to the winner's enclosure, relatively modest wrought and cast iron, sold at a charity auction to Bill Gredley, a Newmarket trainer, against determined underbidding by J P McManus (of ManU fame), for £329,000 inc 17.5 per cent buyer's premium. The gates, which had been estimated at £20,000, were sold by Graham Budd in association with Sotheby's Olympia. The ATG wryly pointed out that the price was a record for a piece of sporting memorabilia, 'but one that only lasted 48 hours before it was exceeded when Christie's South Ken sold the FA Cup for £420,000 two days later'. The Ascot bandstand is estimated at £130k - £150k for the Grand Design's auction. If it fails to sell we hope it may put in an appearance at the Salvo Fair on July 2nd and 3rd.
