In Person and Online
We are delighted to present the illustrated catalogue for Reeman Dansie’s East Anglian, Fine Art & Antiques auction, which will be held over three days and will include over 1500 lots. We begin proceedings with the ceramics and glassware section, which will include a good selection of 18th and 19th century pieces from several private collections. Highlights include a rare Staffordshire caneware custard set (lot 4, £300-500). The rest of day one will see silver, jewellery, clocks, and watches go under the hammer, to include an 18ct gold Rolex GMT-Master (lot 692, £15,000-£20,000).
The second day of the sale will start with works of art, where notable lots include a striking group of sculptures by contemporary artist Sophie Dickens (lots 858-860). The East Anglian section of the sale will follow; with over 300 lots to be sold and many well-loved local names represented throughout, there is something for everyone on offer. Highlights include three impressive oil paintings by Edward Seago (lots 1075, 1076, and 1100), as well as works by the likes of Maggi Hambling, Alfred Munnings, and Robert Adams.
The auction will conclude on day three with furniture and rugs, including a Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson oak breakfast table (lot 1513, £1500-2500).
We look forward to welcoming you to the sale, whether you’ll be bidding online or in the room.
