McTear's November Auctions

Our November auctions began with our Fine and Contemporary sale on Tuesday 1st. Artist James Stuart Park was a prominent feature, with his work being highly sought after among both private collectors and art dealers. It was two of his paintings in particular that created a bidding frenzy and both works soared above estimate, with the hammer falling at £3600 and £2200.

The unsurprising star of our Rare & Collectable Whisky Auction was the 26 Malts which sold for £2300.


Wednesday evening saw the Jewellery Auction, where diamonds stole the show. Bracelets, pendants and rings twinkled as the hammer came down above estimate on several lots.


The British & Continental Ceramics, Silver & Glass Auction got Thursday underway and interest in these items from mainland China, Hong Kong and throughout Europe was exceptional. This circular bowl with insect and flower motifs sold for £1000.


Rounding up the November Auctions was the Furniture, Works of Art, Collectables, Pictures & Clocks sale on Thursday 3rd.Again, major interest surrounded Chinese items such as this hardwood table with key frieze decoration which sold for £1600.
