Smithfield Livestock Market & was presented to Sir John Gilmour Bart. who had been made a Baronet by Queen Victoria in her 1897 Jubilee year. The quality of workmanship

Is very high & measuring 19 ¾” x 11 ¾” it weighs 1665 grammes in all. The guide for this spectacular piece is £4750/ 5250.

Troika was an Art pottery in St. Ives & Newlyn in Cornwall which operated from 1962- 1983. The sculptural style of Troika pieces soon gained market recognition,

with the London stores Heals & Libertys stocking their goods. Alison Brigden was head decorator from 1981-1983 & 2 vases with her monogram are priced at

£60/100 each & are 3 /2” & 4” h.

The McIntosh firm in Kirkaldy Scotland was one of the foremost makers of contemporary furniture in Britain in the 1960’s & 70’s. Drawing influence from the popular

Scandinavian designers of the time simple yet elegant pieces with clean lines were to the fore. A late 1960’s teak sideboard has 2 pairs of cupboard doors

With the easing of lockdown we are happy to welcome people to view in the saleroom, but will be keeping our booking system with timed slots so that you can view in comfort without feeling crowded. On entering the saleroom we do still require face covering & fresh gloves due to the multiple handling of the lots- we would rather stick to the safest methods possible for the sake of both customers & staff alike.

We will be continuing with the timed auctions for the foreseeable future- it is impossible to predict when “normal” auctions could safely resume.
