Furniture and Collections

Day 2 of our April auction commences with selected contents of Winchfield House, Hampshire. Winchfield House exudes Georgian elegance and was originally built c.1767 by Lord George Beauclerk, 6^th son of the first Duke of St. Albans and was the Beauclerk family seat until the 1850s when it was sold to Spencer Charrington. The fifty-one lots in the sale are from the Charrington Family Collection and include a wonderful George II giltwood console table, an impressive large scale giltwood wall mirror and a set of ten George III mahogany dining chairs in the French manner. Other highlights in the Fine Furniture section include a rare William and Mary black lacquer and giltwood cabinet on stand in the manner of Thomas Pelletier. This stunning cabinet retains its original cresting which is a rare survivor. We are fortunate to have another rare japanned cabinet in the sale, this example is a secretaire cabinet chest and is attributed to John Belchier. Day 2 will feature the second part of the Hans Joachim Homm collection, leading the collection is fine Haji Jalili silk prayer rug. Other highlights of Day 2 include a rare Irish Killarney arbutus and marquetry Davenport attributed to Arthur Jones, a monumental Swiss walnut Black Forest eagle and an elegant George III mahogany rent table formerly from the collection formed at Enmore Castle, Dorset.
