Medal Valuations

Medal

We provide medal valuations for Sale, Probate and Insurance Purposes

We were asked to sell the contents of a small 2 bedroom house in West Sussex and among the items was a Tupperware box containing a fascinating collection of medals. They were all Civil Orders awarded to a Mr Franz Johannes Gunther. As General Director of the Anatolian Railway Company he was in charge of the construction of the Berlin to Baghdad Railway. The collection totalled 16 high ranking medals or Orders from the various countries that the railway passed through. Obviously a thank you from each Head of State for his involvement.

We arranged for them to be sold in a specialist International medal auction where they were all offered as separate lots. They raised £19,000 in total with the highest price of £5000 being achieved by the medal in the illustration which is a rare Order of the Noble Bokhara, First Class Third Degree Star by Osipov of St Petersburg.

We value medals, orders, coins and stamps for sale, probate and insurance purposes.

I love these silver “Butterfield” type pocket sundials. I collected this very original example by the Paris maker Bion last week. It dates to the late 17th/early 18th century and is housed in its original fitted leather case.
As you can see it is beautifully engraved on the back and is in lovely condition overall.
I have guided it very realistically at £500-700 but hope it will do better.

Had a great afternoon at Chiddingstone Castle in Kent. The eccentric owner accumulated a wonderful and varied collection of antiques including Japanese works of art, Egyptian treasures and Jacobite pieces.
Well worth a visit.

I loved looking at the Austin J40 pedal cars at Goodwood Revival but realised how much work I have to do on mine. Swipe across to see what I’m talking about.

An original signed black and white studio photograph of Andy Warhol by Richard Avedon that sold for £2500.

Part of a collection of Avedon works that I got in for sale that came by direct descent from one of his New York studio assistants.
