Rendells Auctioneers at Stonepark, Ashburton continue with their monthly auctions and the next one will be held on 18th & 19th June which will include a specialist section of postcards, stamps and ephemera.
One notable consignment includes a quantity of artistic stained glass panels (of various sizes), and also a folio of stained glass designs and artwork, by Tony Attenborough who was later the stained glass tutor at The Central School of Art; these works were part of his student portfolio for entry to the Royal College of Art in London. There is also a collage work of a stained glass design by Pauline Boty, who was one of the co-founders of the British Pop Art movement in the 1960’s – probably a student work from her time at the Wimbledon School of Art.
Auctions always have something for everyone and other lots include original British Rail Western Region No Parking and Left Luggage enamel signs and other modern cast iron examples; an early 20th Century Maidstone, Murdoch, Murdoch & Co, London violin and bows; a quantity of photographic equipment; an Herbert Terry Anglepoise lamp, other table lamps and shades; a large vintage wooden schooner model; various boxes including a Chinese red lacquered box, an antique mahogany candle box, and offertory and deed boxes. In the Furniture section on offer is an Arts & Crafts circa 1900 mahogany stick stand with embossed copper panel; an 18th Century oak cricket table with brass banding; a hardwood stool in the form of an upstretched hand; an antique oak tea set storage box by Elkington & Co. Ltd; and a late 19th Century Chinese heavily carved hardwood torchere. Not forgetting the other usual sections of China & Glass, Outside Effects, Paintings & Pictures, Clocks & Barometers and Metalwork.
