Another small collection of oddities from the recent catalogue of another of our local auction houses …
A collection of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ceramic figures including the “Lenox Treasure box collection” (that has gold plated charms within), also “Brooks & Bentley” salt and pepper collection.
A full size zebra skin rug, and an antelope rug.
A continental porcelain figure of a Grecian maiden holding aloft a twin-handled urn, together with a Coalport porcelain shouldered ovoid urn and cover, the cover having a pineapple finial raised on a socle supported plinth, the cream and midnight blue ground having gilt enrichments and gilt goat head masks, the cartouche painted with a ruined castle, signed: JH Plant
[I just cannot picture what sort of mess this is]
A Chinese porcelain garden seat formed as an elephant.
A miscellaneous selection of items, to include a pair of French First World War bayonets, a pair of African antelope horns and bison horns.
A large and interesting miscellaneous collection of tribal items to include various swords, an Eskimo arrow holder, a Burmese bird cage, a North African gunpowder flask, a Russian gilded sword and many more.
Two Zulu shields, an old African tribal paddle and various spears (bearing ‘Spink & Son Ltd’ labels).
[Why would Spinks be selling spears?]
A North West Persian tribal runner with a line of medallions alternating between hooked diamond and cruciform designs and contained within three borders.
[As well as having rather ornate body art I trust the runner comes with cleft stick.]
A boxed cherub table lamp.
[You mean there is a type of cherub I never knew about – the boxed cherub?]
In amongst this collection there is though the usual selection of really nice schmutter.
