Chorley Auction House Auctioneers and Valuers of Fine Art, Antiques and Collectables offering weekly Monday 10am Sales

08/11/2023

We had a large auction this week, and within all those lots some good sellers too. Hopefully this week's auction is just as big last week's, but here are some of the best selling lots we had;
The best selling item this week an oxblood button backed Chesterfield couch which sold for £270. Chesterfield furniture has remained popular, it gives country club. But it is a nice piece, and still in great condition. It's mostly Chesterfield chairs that we get in auction, so it makes a change to have a couch in the auction instead.
Another lot which sold well was a pair of Polish H.Kolberg Warszawa army binoculars in leather case. This pair of binoculars sold for £140, we get a lot military collectors in the auction so any military related items seem to get good value. Or maybe somebody bought these binoculars and the illustrated bird book.
Also selling well was a The Beatles From Apple Photos and Biographies 1971 Apple Promotional Book, which sold for £90. This is very on theme and good timing due to the release of the new and last Beatles song 'Now and Then', so The Beatles must have been in mind during this auction. Let me know what you though of the new Beatles song in the comments.
Lastly we had a retro Garfield telephone in the auction, this sold for £60. This is a quirky item, his eyes even move when you lift the handset. A very nice item to remind you of how much you hate Mondays, but love lasagne. Also how much you love Garfield 2; A Tale of Two Kitties, truly a cinematic masterpiece.
