Attributed to Peter Behrens (German 1868-1940), a pair of carved teak open armchairs, circa 1902, each with a carved splat and padded seat on tapered legs. Peter Behrens is one the foremost 20th century architects working in the early 20th century in Germany. The designs for these chairs are comparable to those included in his dining room suite executed by Anton Bluggel, in Berlin for the Moderne Wohnungskunst exhibition, Warrenhaus, Wertheim, in 1902.
Estimate: £1000/1500
A gentleman's Bueche Girod wristwatch with a diamond set dial and bezel cased in 18 carat gold
Estimate: £1500/1800
A Huntley and Palmer biscuit tin, decorated with children after Kate Greenaway, circa 1980. This tin was withdrawn from production following the hidden lewd images noticed by a shopkeeper. Disgruntled employee Mick Hill had apparently added to the designs, which went unnoticed until the tin was in circulation.
Estimate: £80/120
A good quality 18th century style Welsh oak dresser, the plate rack fitted with eight spice drawers, over an arrangement of short drawers and cupboards, 167cm
