MANY LOTS TO BE OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE


Our biannual online auction of paintings, works on paper and sculpture offers a wide range of categories and works from the 17th century to the present day. Designed to appeal to all tastes, it comprises a vast array of subject matter with very attractive 'middle-market' estimates with many lots offered without reserve.

The current sale features a number of collections. These include a quantity of lively costume designs by Doris Zinkheisen and portraits of stars of screen and stage by Boris Smirnoff from the Vineyard Hotel, Stockcross in Berkshire (lots 572-590 & 623-642 respectively); a  fascinating range of post-war Modernist paintings consigned by a collector in south London, and the first sixty-four lots in the sale (lots 401-465) from a private collection in Surrey which are especially strong in prints and watercolours of topographical and botanical interest.

Other works in the sale with fascinating stories attached include lot 479 of Leslie Howard by Antony Beauchamp, lots 568-570 by Madge Gill and lot 644, a very early 1937 celluloid of Doc, the head dwarf in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney’s first full length animated feature.
