Lots Road Auctions

Among the most traditional of antiques, the William and Mary oyster veneered walnut chest of drawers remains a welcome visitor to the saleroom.

This bronze reduction of Kipkh (Circe) by Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal (1863-1931) set a new house record at Lots Road Auctions.

Pictured here are three good examples of Worcester hard-paste porcelain from the early decades of the 19th century – at which time there was a trio of factories operating in the city.

This large lithograph forms part of the Weather Series, a suite of prints created by David Hockney (b.1937) in 1973.

Lots Road Auctions is to expand its range and frequency of sales as it celebrates 40 years in business.

A Régence period giltwood table attracted interest from across the trade, taking £52,000 (estimate £5000- 8000) at Lots Road Auctions (22% buyer’s premium).

A massive 3ft (92cm) high majolica urn – a riot of grotesque masks, mythical figures and other motifs drawn from Renaissance sources – combining the talents of two key figures in the history of the Minton factory was included in Fonsie Mealy’s (20% buyer’s premium) sale on March 5.

Lots Road Auctions is to relocate to a purpose-built new saleroom as part of a property development on the Chelsea street.

Lots Road Auctions has been in the same premises since it was founded by owner Roger Ross in 1979. The establishment is well known among the Chelsea set and was even the star of the Channel Four show The Auction House. But changes are afoot. Here Nick Carter, manager and senior auctioneer, discusses the firm’s future with ATG.
