 T W GAZE ARCHITECTURAL SATURDAY 11 JUNE
GAZE'S forthcoming architectural salvage sale will feature the usual mix of 1,200 lots of architectural salvage, reclaimed materials and garden antiques, including this time some green wallpaper from Napoleon's home in exile on Elba, as well as part of his shroud. There are also some of old wooden beehives, the new must-have for aspiring Bunny Guinness garden makeoverists, as well as two cupola tower vents, one copper clad dalek at £800 and one cheaper at £600 (good luck). Some nice stonework includes a 20th century columned circular gazebo, catalogued 'Garden Temple', estimated at £4,000. A stone three-tier fountain, pond surrounds, other fountains. There is the biggest ever bathroom section at this sale, ancient to modern, headed by good condition WC pans including Doulton's Wizard, Royal and Ripple, and a nice floral multi-coloured Convolvulus with slight damage. There are more details and links to the sale catalogue below.
THE Bygones sale on May 21st was, according to auctioneer-in-charge, Carl Willows, a good sale with not many star pieces but a strong middle range, with each category pursued by its own specialist collectors. For example, an 18th century lark roaster, hotly contested, sold to a London collector for £550 against £250 estimate. Tractor collectors pushed a Ransomes Patent Ploughs & Irons Kept In Stock enamel sign to £775, and a Fordson to £520. But on the whole, enamel signs are down unless they are very unusual or in very good condition, said Mr Willows. Painted pine beehives sold for £140 and £90, a local ginger beer flaggon GOSLING went at £250. This was estimated at £40 but only two others are known to exist, earthenware 2 gallon, with contents, 'smelled absolutely revolting,' CW said. Two leather and lead bull horn straighteners sold for £130 and a Capito mouse trap for £85. Some not particularly good taxidermy - a cased specimen chub and a trout - went for £48 and £70. There has been an increase in taxidermy of late apparently. A leather, fabric and turned wood horse posture trainer sold for £110, above its £40 expectations. A National till, Dayton Ohio, sold for £300 but the American flag did not. To sum up, the top end was doing well, middle strong and low end bad, and of course furniture is dire. 'Nowhere is safe,' Mr Willows said, 'but I think people are going for top quality.'
