42 Feel-good factor at recent auctions T


here has been a tangible ‘feel-good’ factor throughout the last series of auctions at our salerooms in Exeter. Notwithstanding the extra


care and safeguarding in place, the interest and desire to collect and buy across all antique and modern art disciplines has real energy. The value of gold and silver has been on a steady upwards trend, reflected in demand and prices achieved for gold coins and jewellery, and silver items too. There is the same enthusiasm in other disciplines - there was serious pre-sale interest in the 20th Century & Contemporary auction held on 9th


September. This modern period


of design, often incorporating new and experimental techniques and materials from the 1960s to the present day, is a perfect counterpoint to more traditional antiques from the 18th


and 19th Plymouth Breakwater, painting from 1840s


Vivianna Torun George Jensen Möbius brooch centuries. So, whether your


interest is a modern classic like a Vivianna Torun George Jensen Möbius brooch which was included in our 20th Century & Contemporary auction held in


September, or an historical painting like the view of the incredible Plymouth Breakwater, completed in the 1840s to provide safe anchorage for the Channel Fleet (estimate £3,000-£5,000*, 13 October auction), there is every chance there will be something for you at the upcoming Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood auctions in Exeter.
