•KEEN-EYED bidders at Silverwoods'Special ■ ; Saie were able to spot some emerging nationai


i


trends in the iiveiy pre-Christmas antiques auction, which saw some excellent prices achieved for vendors.


Sevres porceiain is always a popular buy and


a pair of 18th century mantel vases depicting courting groups in a pastoral setting shot past their^estimate to reach £1,900. A Shelley pottery 39-piece tea service for a


12-place setting - . .


decorated with sheep and an extensive breakfast ■ service by Royal Crown Derby in the Olde Avesbury pattern both doubled their estimates, reaching £280 and £450 respectively. Auctioneer Wiif Mouid commented: "With a


number of home-baking and craft programmes on the TV at the moment, we are seeing a reai revival in prices for quality traditional dinner, breakfast and tea services - both in our bimonthiy special sales and our weekly sales — a trend which we believe will continue into 2012." Of many finely crafted items in the saie, the star was a beautiful Chinese carved ivory brise


fan dating from the 1 9th centuty, intricately decorated with anirnais, birds, insects, iandscapes and flowers. It went under the


hammer for £1,200 against an estimate of £300 to £500.


. Two charming and accomplished Victorian


needlework samplers by 10 year old Martha Anne Musgrove and Rebecca Bolton (14) both


doubled their estimates, achieving £190 and £260.


.Jewellery fashionistas will have noticed a recent


revivai in the popularity of charm braceiets and two attractive gold examples went for near top- ■ of-estimate prices.


; The provenance of a Victorian bamboo walking


cane with the handle as a silver vesta case signed "W. Thornhill and Co. London 1848" was the ’ reason for its eventual £600 price tag. It came to the saleroom with a handwritten note that it was a gift by the Earl of Athlone to his valet and


departed to one of many of the da/s internet bidders.


A small child's lambing chair - made by an


expert craftsman and very much from the Lancashire/Yorkshire dales area of the country - was hotly contested by phone and internet


.towards the end of the sale and doubled its estimate, making £1,300. ■ ^ "Overall, the sale picked up on some other


interesting aspects of the current market," added auctioneer Wilf. "Items of small Moorcroft did very well and Whitefriars glass appears to be
