A fine pair of Paul Storr silver salt cellars with gilded scallop shell bowls raised on sea creature legs have just been valued for sale purposes for a client in London. Dating from the 1820s by an important maker they were expected to realise in the region of £1000 – 1500 when they came up for auction but instead realised £2400 for our very happy client.

The Anchor Inn, Seatown,near Bridport. An oil painting by the highly accomplished Hove artist Charles Henry Harrison Burleigh. Probably painted in the 1920s or 30s and aside from the creation of a car park the scene has hardly changed.
He studied at the Brighton School of Art and in Paris under the tutelage of Jacques-Emile Blanche. His work was exhibited at the Royal Academy and Fine Art Society and is in the collections of The Slade, UCL, Brighton Pavilion and Brighton Museum and many provincial art galleries.

Exhibition quality mid 19th century piano by Erard with fine brass inlaid and ormolu mounted ebonised case. I recently valued this for probate purposes and it will probably be coming in for sale so if you are interested please DM me.

This was my favourite car at the London Concours at the Honourable Artillery Company. This is a Maserati 3500 GT from 1962 which resided for over 50 years in America before coming to this country in 2012.
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.
