This Winter sale includes a number of consignments from the Channel Islands. Philip has made a number of visits to clients based in Jersey and Guernsey and returned with a wide selection of lots.

The sale starts with a remarkable private collection of mid to late century Murano glassware including many works by Vittorio Ferro (1902-2012). Further on are several bronzes and ormolu works followed by a number of notable pieces of Louis furniture including an important pair of 18^th century Venetian chairs and a side cabinet in the manner of Adam Weisweiler.

Elsewhere you will see a group of Japanese hardwood netsuke, much more desirable now that ivory has been outlawed. Some significant 18^th century portraits are followed by a selection of silver and a group of works by one of Australia’s foremost artists Sir Sidney Nolan.
