    Buyers still show

    great passion forChinese artefacts

    THE passion for antiqueChinese artefacts is unabatedto the delight of auctioneerswho often find their cautiousestimates ignored by the

    specialist buyers competing for finequality items.

    In several sections of the recent

    antiques and fine art sale atBrightwells Easters Court inLeominster, Chinese porcelain,carvings and metalwork took some ofthe best prices.

    An impressive pair of antique blueand white urns with covers anddecorated with trees and branches soldfor 3,400. It was blue and white waresof this type that attracted the followersof William Morris in the 19th centuryand led to the establishment of severalOriental warehouses that importedChinese antiquities for middle classhomes adding to the porcelain that hadbeen purchased by the owners ofgrander houses in the 18th century.

    Consequently, Chinese ceramics areoften found in family houses whereeven damaged pieces are now re-examined in the hope of discoveringsomething rare and precious.

    A group of four carved Chinesehardwood panels, the low reliefdecoration showing birds amongfanciful trees, made 1,800. while a pairof carved hardwood table screens withfretted borders went at 720.

    The greatest surprise of the sale wasan African stool-like headrest withinlaid beadwork decoration that ledthe ethnic section selling for 2,600.

    A long-bow, probably of Indian originwith painted decoration made 330,while a large rocking chair in the formof a fierce seated warrior and apotential focus of attention for anyshop window or exhibition stand, soldfor 170.

    The highlights of the Europeanfurniture section included an elegantRegency library table with oyster typeveneers and unusual fitted drawers toboth sides that made 3,000.

    The simple lines and light colour of apolished pine housekeepers cupboardwith arched panelled doors and nineuseful drawers appealed to currenttaste and sold for 1,300 and a set ofeight mahogany dining chairs withcarved cabriole front supports made680.

    A Victorian grained dresser withglazed and panelled doors abovedrawers and cupboards went for 1,250and a walnut and oak side table inWilliamand Mary style achieved 900.An 18th century continental chest ofthree drawers, the top surface anddrawer fronts inlaid with griffons andcherubs, was purchased for 1,950,

    while an English-made davenportmade 500.
