Successful Paintings Sale


Our 8th October sale featured a private collection of oil paintings by Louis Bosworth Hurt, an artist who specialised in highland scenes with cattle.

The top priced painting was an oil on canvas depicting a Scottish landscape with highland cattle which sold for £2,100.










Another Scottish scene by the same artist, this time with a cattle drover and herd, fetched £1,300

A Sparkling Trade for Champagne


This bottle of 1959 Krug champagne was offered for sale in our 24th September auction.
Some of the foil around the cork was missing but bidders in the saleroom and one telephone bidder took the price up to a cork-popping £540. So celebrations were in order for both buyer & seller!
