Stamp valuations

The famous Penny Black was the first adhesive postage stamp which was first issued on the 1st May 1840 but was not in fact valid for use until May 6th.

This pair comes from a vast collection of British and Commonwealth stamps that I have just taken in for sale and includes other penny blacks and a number of twopenny blues. Other highlights include two 1840 Mulready covers and a cover dated 1801 that features a rare apple shaped postal mark.

We are regularly asked to value stamp collections for probate, sale and insurance purposes, so if you would like our advice please contact us.

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. . . . #richardavedonphotography #richardavedon #americanphotographer #andywarhol

I discovered this pair of Castellani bracelets on a routine probate valuation in Hove, amongst a group of costume jewellery. The family had no idea what they were or where they had come from. Fortunately I knew exactly what they were and entered them into a Bonhams auction where they sold today for £30,000 plus buyer’s premium. Made circa 1865 in a Byzantine style they are set with sugarloaf and cabochon sapphires and each is marked on the reverse with the interlocking CC mark. . . #castellani #caetani #byzantinerevival #giuliano #antiquejewellery #antiquejewelry #probatevaluations #nicholasmuston #antiquevaluations
