Valuers Collaborative Effort
Kalashnikovs from Kemptown, a Fornasetti screen from Seaford and Louis Vuitton from Belgravia.
This Winter sale brings together the result of a collaborative effort on behalf of all of the valuers.
The estate of a long-time client from Brighton has produced several Philippe Starck mirrors as well as two of his iconic Kalashnikov table lamps (Lots 285 & 288) and what google tells me is termed a ‘malignity’ of David Goode goblins (Lots 48+).
Lot 285
A Philippe Starck Gilt Metal Kalashnikov Table Lamp
Estimate: £800-1,200

Lot 6
A Rare Vintage Fendi Baguette Brown Mink Shoulder Bag
Estimate: £800-1,200

The keen-eyed weekly sale valuers; Jack, Emily, Annie and Paul C. have all been sending upstairs the pick of the items that come in through the door.
