Well March certainly is the month for Howard furniture with plenty more lots coming up for sale for the 2nd half of the month so here they are:
(Click Pic to go to thesaleroom.com page) Dreweatts in Newbury on the 12th of March:
Standard Victorian chair, missing its cushion, guide price £300-£500. I would expect around £1000. Sold for £1488 Total
Lenygon and Morant Bridgewater armchair, guide price £400-£600. Always hard to guess these, I will go for £1200. Sold for £2728 Total As I say always hard to guess the Lenygon and Morant ones, sometimes they make very little and sometimes they make as much as Berners St ones.
Five chairs in total here, 3 bridgewaters, 1 grafton in the same purple chenille and 1 club armchair in a green chenille. No guide prices given, I would guess £2500 per chair. All Unsold
Christies, London on the 18th of March:
Probably
a Baring sofa but uncertain due to the bad re-upholstery, it also looks
like it has foam seat cushions from the flatness of them. Guide price:
£2000-£3000 is probably about right, maybe a little more. Sold for £3250+charges
Nice
little armchair, again unfortunately it appears the cushion has been
replaced by a foam one. Guide price: £1000-£1500 again probably about
right. Sold for £1750+charges
Pair of Howard Chairs/Lenygon and Morant chairs. Guide price:£800-£1200. My guess would be closer to £2000. Sold for £3500+charges Looks like a bridgewater, shame the cushion is wrong, looks like a grafton cushion. Guide price, £1400-£1800 I would say is fair enough probably a little bit more.
Grafton Armchair, foam cushion, this is probably the chair the cushion on the bridgewater previous belongs to so hopefully 1 person buys both lots and sorts it out. Guide price, £1000-£1500 again not too far off, a little on the low side but as far as Howard guide prices go its not bad.
Realised prices will be posted after the sale, Happy Bidding.
