Last Wednesday saw us host our first fully online sale Antiques & Interiors auction from Wolverhampton Auction Rooms. Despite lacking the buzz of a packed saleroom to comply with social distancing guidelines, the auction attracted a strong interest with a great contingent of bidders registering online via both thesaleroom.com and easyliveauctions.com, and several commission bids lodged in advance.
There were strong performances across a catalogue featuring just shy of 800 lots, with G-plan furniture performing particularly well; signalling the ongoing trend for Mid-Century moden.
Sale highlights included:
Lot 81 – A KEW GARDENS 50P PIECE DATED 2009 TOGETHER WITH A GOLD COLOURED 50P, Hammer Price: £100
Lot 129 – A QUANTITY OF STONES, FOSSILS, METAL BADGES ETC. FROM THE H. STOPES-ROE ESTATE, Hammer Price: £650
