Christopher Hodsoll's Top Picks
No. 1
Lot 1001: A pair of parcel gilt oak console tables with Ashburton marble tops, in George III style, incorporating late 19th century elements, modern | Est. £2,000-4,000 (+ fees)
"With the contemporary look of these tables, incorporating classical antique columns, pilasters and recycling antique Ashburton marble tops, these tables are very pleasing."
No. 2
Lot 1002: A set of eight oak, ebonised, parcel gilt and brass marquetry chairs, the design attributed to George Bullock, four circa 1815, four contemporary by Arlington Restoration | Est. £1,000-1,500 (+ fees)
"Designed by George Bullock, a pre-modern master who, I think, would have been as famous as Chippendale had he not died the age of 41. The four antique Regency chairs were made for the Duke of Palmela."
No. 3
Lot 1011: An aluminium mounted pale mahogany ‘Yacht' table, mid 20th century | Est. £500-800 (+ fees)

No. 4
Lot 1020: Y An ebony and satinwood table, Ceylonese, early 20th century | Est. £1,200-1,800 (+ fees)
"This large scale satinwood and ebony table could be used as a dining table or hall table. From the Anglo-Ceylonese era, after the late 17th century Dutch period, its simple bold design, would work in a contemporary setting."
No. 5
Lot 1023: Y An ebony and ebonised pedestal desk, 19th century | Est. £400-600 (+ fees)
"This ebony writing desk, is a stylish version of a normally dull piece of furniture. Fine workmanship!"
