Wine, Women and Song at Charterhouse Auction
Published May 16th, 2008
The Charterhouse auction on Friday 16th May of nearly 1,200 includes everything you need for a great party.
With over 400 lots of wine, port and spirits, the party should get going pretty quickly. “There are bottles of wine estimated from modest sums up to over £50, although this should maybe be reserved for a more special occasion!” Commented Richard Bromell. “For the music, we have a Bechstein upright piano, requiring some restoration estimated a couple hundred pounds, but I think I would rather put my money into the early 1950’s American Seeburg jukebox at £1,000. The play list has golden oldie music listings such as fox trots, rumbas and western, but the vendor has updated all the singles to include Jimi Hendrix and Robbie Williams. However, perhaps one of the ultimate party accessories to have must be the George III silver two handled tray, which, estimated at up to £2,000, could be the best way to serve your guest with their drinks.”
Viewing for this auction on Friday 16th May is on the 14th 10-4 & 15th 10-7. Catalogues are available from the auctioneers or you can browse the sale on their web site
