Jamie Collingridge
2010 began well,with some very good prices in our 21 January sale.A
Mudge & Dutton table clock tripled its high estimate to achieve
£22,500 and there were excellent results for traditional Georgian
clocks, such as a London pagoda longcase and a bell top bracket clock
-- notably higher prices than such clocks have usually achieved.
Overall, our clocks sold for just above their top estimate -- an
encouraging start to the year.
In February we have a number of mid-range clocks for sale.The Style
& Spirit auction at CSK auction has a good selection of mid-range
English and French clocks.Having just sold a Cole timepiece strut
clock for £6875 it will be interesting to see how the example on the
front cover of this Update performs.
Looking forward,we anticipate a busy season.We have just a few (but
very nice) clocks in a single owner furniture collection at the end of
March.These include a fine walnut table clock by Ellicott and a
charming walnut longcase with skeletonised chapter ring by Norcott.
Then in late April we will have another larger selection.One of the
highlights already consigned is a rare nickel carriage clock with split
handle by White (a must for carriage clock collectors) and we will
undoubtedly have a few other treats too. I will be keeping you
updated.
Kind regards
Jamie
