The Fashion, Costume and Textiles Sale at Tennants (24% buyer’s premium) on November 22 was led by a rare pair of Palampore curtains.
They were part of a group of early textiles from the estate of Robert Bogdan (1950-2023) of Barra Castle, Aberdeen.
From 2019 he was chairman of the Scottish Castles Association and, after retirement from teaching at Charterhouse, spent many days in the wilder parts of Scotland looking for castle ruins and Scottish tower houses.
