SUMMER SALE WITH A PROVENANCEMONDAY, 29TH JULY 2013
Over 50 years worth of acquisitions, including furniture,
paintings, silver and Japanese screens from Holcombe
House, Painswick, Gloucestershire, until recently the home of
a collector and her family, are to be offered for sale in
Chorley's next sale on Monday, 29th July 2013.
Highlights from the collection include fine furniture, such as
Lot 78, a pair of George lll mahogany marble-topped side
tables: these are stylish and would make a fantastic
statement in the hall of a country house, estimate 6,000-
8,000. Lot 108, a George III three-pillar dining table estimate
4,000-6,000 has good colour and patination and would fit
perfectly into a grand dining room.
Among a good selection of American silver, Lot 340 stands
out: this Tiffany & Co water jug is decorated with bands of
stylised waves and carries an estimate of 400-600.
Holcombe House is predominately a typical 16th /17th
Century gabled Cotswold stone manor house with stone slate
roof and a very fine tithe barn. It was recorded by local artist
Charles March Gere (1869-1957) in a lovely watercolour
(illustrated here by kind permission of Cheltenham Museum
and Art Gallery). The house was enlarged and restored for a
previous owner of the house, Lady Plymouth, by Detmar Blow;
his extension seen to the right of the house is in the Cotswold
Arts and Crafts style and blends in perfectly with the earlier
original.
Also included in the sale are a number of items from a
deceased estate. Raymond de Seyssel Hall was the only son
of architect Herbert Austen Hall and Countess Clara Seyssel.
Through his mothers parents, Edgar Seyssel and AdelheidWartensleben, he was descended from the noble European
families of Seyssel DAix and Wartensleben. The Seyssel dAix
family were originally from Savoy but moved to Bavaria at the
beginning of the 18th Century.
