A few pieces from my private collection, reduced to under 50% of their value.

A few pieces from my private collection, reduced to under 50% of their value.

Over the past few years since selling our family home and sizing down to an apartment, I’ve sold much of my private collection. Some I sold long before I moved, and since I moved, that’s progression and continually upgrading my surroundings. These are a few pieces I’ve reduced to under 50% of their value. Now in my warehouse and only a small display area for private viewings, I’ve made the decision to let a lot go, even the rest of my private collection Before I moved shop in June, I even sold my complete Draakestein collection, ten in total went back to the UK, as much of my stock has over the decades, as dealing in rare items there’s always an international demand. Note: the surrounding pieces and art in my home and showroom have all sold, even the ceramics!! The very long French buffet below the Atamja painting, the farmhouse table, harlequin set of country chippendale chairs and pair of bog-oak side chairs all sold within weeks of placing onto the market. Also the Besler 1613 and olive wood wine table in bedroom. An exciting enamelled mixed media on canvas – 2012.

As the 250 years of wax build up, merely needs a good buff to bring up a wonderful patina.
