The winter season at Eldreds begins with a sale of antiques and art on November 23, 2010 at 11.00am.


The auction include a useful selection of mahogany and oak furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries, also watercolours, oil paintings, ceramics, glass and works of art.


The furniture section includes a pair of oak wainscot chairs in the seventeenth century style, although thought to be later constructed, these are unusual as they rarely appear in pairs and carry a modest estimate of £600 - £800.


Inscribed with the date 1682 and from the same source as the wainscot chairs, is a small six-plank oak coffer of typically simple design with a carved front panel and end


boards extended to form feet. It is estimated at £300 - £400.


Also in the antique furniture sale is an 18th century ebonised bracket clock by London clock maker Henry Hurt which expects £1,000 - £1,500

A Victorian emerald and diamond cluster ring seems reasonable at £300 - £400.


With gold and other metal prices at particularly high levels, the numerous chains and bracelets included in this sale are expected to prove popular.


In particular, a gold bracelet set with pearls and amethyst clusters should make £300 -£500.


All in all, a sale well worth viewing.
