‘From Chippendale to silver candelabra'

A fine North Derbyshire collection of gold coins belonging to a gentleman
will be included in the auction, whilst consigned to the sale from a
Leicestershire lady will be a period Chippendale style giltwood mirror from
circa 1765.
The mirror is a rarity comments Charles Hanson. ‘With its Rococo
overtones and fine pierced acanthus detail, the mirror captures frivolous living
of high society in the mid 18th century.’

books, paintings and furniture, the sale will comprise in all 750 lots’.

the elegance of fine 1920s living’ comments David Greatwood, Hansons'
senior general valuer.
Elsewhere, a fine pair of Venetian oils on canvas from circa 1880 are
expected to fetch £1000-1500.
