Highly prized by the modern collector there is always substantial interest when the right pieces come to market.
The small pewter cased mantel timepiece (below right) was one of two Liberty and Co Tudric items entered in our 27th August sale and realised £420.
It was the tobacco jar, however, which had the collectors really excited. Archibald Knox was Liberty and Co's most renowned designer and since this jar carried his typical design the auction price was lifted to £1500.
