Billed as a collection, possibly better described as a hoard, the contents of boxes stored in warehouse units were “the magic ingredients for auction goers” according to Dreweatts’ deputy chairman James Nicholson.
Fresh to market, having been stored for 20 years and more, the extraordinary range of items – from academic antiquities to top-name 20th century luxury items via the occasional two-figure collectable – were offered by Dreweatts (24% buyer’s premium) at Donnington Priory on January 23-25.
