28 August 2007West Sussex auctioneers Worthing Auction Galleries and Scarborough Fine Art are to merge.

Mark and period moon flasks – £760,000
23 July 2007High drama at the Chichester auction rooms of Henry Adams on July 19 when this pair of Chinese famille rose moon flasks shot to £760,000. The price, a house record, is also the fourth highest ever achieved in a UK auction room outside of London.

£160,000 Langlois commode crowns Bolney Lodge sale
02 October 2006This early George III kingwood parquetry and marquetry commode attributed to Pierre Langlois proved the highlight of the £812,413 Bolney Lodge collection sold by West Sussex auctioneers Toovey’s on September 20.
![1754NE03A.jpg](/media/4965/1754ne03a.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462560720000000)
Polly de Courcy-Ireland treen collection to be sold on September 20
02 September 2006A long-standing member of both the British Antique Dealers’ Association and the vetting committee at the Grosvenor House Art & Antiques Fair, the late Polly de Courcy-Ireland, who died last year, was without doubt one of the country’s leading authorities on treen. First opened in 1972, her shop in Alresford, Hampshire was a favourite with collectors for over 30 years.
Up to speed – M1 number plate sets £300,000 record at Goodwood
18 July 2006M1, one of the most sought-after UK registration numbers, set a new world record price for a car number plate when it sold for £300,000 at Bonhams’ Goodwood Festival of Speed sale of Sports, Competition and Collectors’ Motor Cars and Automobilia on July 7.
![1742NE01A.jpg](/media/4856/1742ne01a.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462560560000000)
Brushing off the soil, bidong brings £32,000
31 May 2006The vendor of this handsome Chinese brush pot or bidong did not hold it in high regard. An heirloom from a grandfather who had spent some time in the Far East, the 6in (15.5cm) vessel had been relegated to the potting shed as a useful receptacle for garden tools and potting compost.
Bonhams broker deal to save steam collection
15 May 2006BONHAMS have brokered a last-minute deal to save the unrivalled Jonathan Minns Collection of Industrial Archaeological Artefacts from being split up.
![1682NE03C.jpg](/media/5205/1682ne03c.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561220000000)
Buyers back prospects of an artist too shy for fame
13 April 2005PICK up the Modern British reference books and you might just find a small mention of Edgar Hubert: born in Billingshurst, West Sussex in 1906; trained at the Slade; an exhibitor with the London Group from 1931 to 1947; died in obscurity (actually it was in Scafold, West Sussex) in 1985.
New Barnham hold first sale
25 January 2005THE New Barnham Auction rooms have just held their first fine art and antiques sale – only five weeks after taking over the premises.
![1670AB01E.jpg](/media/5677/1670ab01e.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561720000000)
Three more ‘Goostly’ leaves and a first-class sandwich wrapper
23 December 2004Autographs, manuscripts and printed ephemera have long been a great strength of sales at Strides of Chichester, but the December 3 sale was rather special, being devoted entirely to that field and, though not billed as such, the first part of the personal collection of Derek White, who for many years has catalogued for the Sussex saleroom.
Virgil translated
29 September 2004FIRST edition copies of John Martyn’s translations of Virgil’s Georgicks (1741) and Bucolicks (1749), both illustrated with coloured plates and maps and bound in contemporary calf, made £500 in a September 17 sale held by John Bellman of Billingshurst.
![1657DD01A.jpg](/media/6193/1657dd01a.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462562090000000)
Dealers mean business with their shows of confidence
22 September 2004WITH the autumn season well underway, it’s good to see a number of dealers promoting business with selling exhibitions which, apart from anything else, present a confident looking trade to the world. Second generation West Sussex furniture dealer Frank Wilson, owner of Wilsons Antiques, has held such an exhibition in Worthing every year since the early 1990s and this autumn’s event will run from September 28 to October 2 at his showrooms at 45-47 New Broadway, Tarring Road.
![1657AR01H.jpg](/media/5753/1657ar01h.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561770000000)
International bidders in scrum for rugby cap
22 September 2004LABELLED the Worthing Sale, the event held by Gorringes (15% buyer’s premium) in association with Michael Jones & Co in the West Sussex town on August 26 had a number of items from the estate of the late collector/dealer Gary Maple.
![1656NE02A.jpg](/media/5627/1656ne02a.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561680000000)
Merc makes its mark… and drives car prices forward
16 September 2004THE backbone of Bonhams’ September 3 car sale at Goodwood Motor Circuit in Sussex was the little-known but highly impressive collection of the late George Milligen.
![1656DD02B.jpg](/media/6179/1656dd02b.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462562070000000)
After decade of success, Gardner switches focus to East
16 September 2004IT IS ten years since well-known dealer Richard Gardner moved into Petworth, West Sussex. Today, even in a town known internationally as one of the most notable concentrations of antiques trading in the South of England, Mr Gardner can certainly be said to have made his mark.
![1655AB02C.jpg](/media/5562/1655ab02c.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561620000000)
16th century weather report?
09 September 2004RIGHT: though I suspected a sub-text, this black letter broadside, printed “at London in the Olde Baily by Richard Lant for Thomas Porefut in Paules Churchyard at the sygne of Lucrese”, seems to offer a straightforward account (in a translation by Renolde Olyver) of a violent storm and consequent disasters that took place at Mechlin [Malines], near Antwerp, in August 1546.
Right time for collectors
08 September 2004TRADITIONAL favourite in the form of a mantel clock led Stride & Son's (15% buyer's premium) 1000-lot July 30 sale but probably more eye-catching were the collectors’ items. The clock, a 19th century mahogany example in a Georgian-style balloon case by London makers Camerer Cuss, went to a Kent buyer at £2300.
![1654AR05A.jpg](/media/5826/1654ar05a.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561810000000)
Finding the silver linings
01 September 2004THESE two superb pieces of Victorian silver proved flagship lots for two south of England salerooms in July.
![1652DD02B.jpg](/media/5806/1652dd02b.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561800000000)
Gardner finds the time to celebrate
19 August 2004PETWORTH dealer Richard Gardner never seems to let up, but he is taking some time off to celebrate this week since the West Sussex town, with its 38 showrooms and some 75 dealers, has just won the BACA award for best antiques town/village.
![1649AB01J.jpg](/media/5424/1649ab01j.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561450000000)
20,000 Leagues in English equals £12,000
21 July 2004FIRST English editions of the works of Jules Verne have been selling for high prices of late. In a July 6 sale held by Strides of Chichester, the fine copy of Sampson Low’s 10/6d edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, seen right, dated 1873 but possibly issued as early as October of the previous year, sold for £12,000.
