The Period Home sale celebrates the timeless craftsmanship, character and elegance of centuries past, bringing together an exceptional selection of antique furniture, ceramics, clocks, decorative works of art and country house furnishings. Whether you are a dedicated collector, period property owner or simply seeking a unique statement piece, the auction offers an opportunity to bring history and heritage into the home.Among the highlights is a remarkable William & Mary oyster-veneered chest, richly decorated with concentric circles of laburnum, walnut and fruitwood veneers, alongside a beautifully proportioned George I figured walnut bureau-cabinet, purchased from Sotheby's in 1977 and retaining its original fitted interior. Furniture collectors will also be drawn to a superb Gillow & Company kidney-shaped writing table, stamped by the celebrated Lancaster makers and embellished with striking ormolu mounts, while a handsome George III burr walnut kneehole desk and an impressive Theodore Alexander 'Althorp Patent Jupe' extending dining table demonstrate the enduring appeal of both period and revival craftsmanship.The ceramics selection is equally distinguished, featuring a pair of finely painted 19th century Meissen cabinet plates inspired by the work of Philips Wouwerman, a rare pair of Grainger Lee & Co Worcester urns decorated with views of London Bridge and Brighton Pavilion, and a pair of elegant Royal Worcester table lamps modelled by James Hadley.Throughout the catalogue, collectors will discover pieces that tell fascinating stories, including an intriguing late 18th century portrait pair of Benjamin Mather and Sarah Perry, offered alongside the original mourning ring and even the bodice worn by Sarah Perry in the painting, creating a remarkable survival of family history spanning generations. From country house furniture and fine porcelain to decorative objects and conversation pieces, The Period Home offers an inspiring selection of items chosen for their quality, provenance and decorative appeal. Whether furnishing a period interior or searching for a distinctive piece with history and character, this sale is full of opportunities to discover something truly special. Browse the collection and place your bids today.
