Antiquities & Ethnographica auction

We are pleased to be holding this one-off specialist auction of Antiquities & Ethnographica consigned from several deceased estates and collectors from across East Anglia and the South coast. This has been a truly fascinating auction to put together, which has taken us around the world and millennia back in time. The sale was born from the consignment of a Cambridgeshire deceased estate single-owner collection, which was owned by an autodidact antiquarian with an extensive knowledge of Celtic history and global antiquities. He was a design engineer, inventor and contractor with a passion for history and art who spent a lifetime studying and collecting items of historical interest and beauty. The estate highlights include Celtic stone figures/heads purchased from the collection of a Cambridge Professor of Architecture, an impressive selection of pre-Columbian pottery, and a large amount of carefully selected Africana. Lots from this estate are marked in the catalogue with an *. Alongside this estate are several other collections as well as individual consignments, which include a wealth of art and antiques from Egypt, Africa, Asia and Polynesia, ranging from 1000BC to the mid20th century. We would like to express our thanks to consultant Will Martin for providing his 30+ years experience and expert knowledge in cataloguing many of these items.
