Bonhams
This July Bonhams will sell the contents of the Old Rectory at Great Bealings in Suffolk, the former home of Conservative minister and former Leader of the House of Lords, Lord Belstead. The sale, which includes an important collection of paintings by landscape artist, Edward Seago (1910-1974), is expected to raise in excess of £400,000.
Lord Belstead’s collection of antique furniture, garden statuary, silver and paintings will be sold in the grounds of his old home, an elegant grey-brick Regency rectory, in the picturesque village of Great Bealings, near Woodbridge, on July 5. The sale provides a rare opportunity to view a collection that resonates with the character and interests of a conscientious politician who had an eye for detail and a love for East Anglia.
