19th/20th Century Design

Welcome to our 19th & 20th Century Decorative Art and Design department. The market for 19th and 20th-century furniture and decorative art is experiencing a surge in popularity. There is a high demand for renowned names such as Charles and Ray Eames, Ercol, G-Plan, Arne Jacobsen, Mouseman, and Martin Ware amongst many others.  We hold dedicated sales and single owner collections throughout the year.

Ceramics and studio pottery by celebrated artists like Hans Coper (1920-1981) and Lucie Rie (1902-1995) have become highly sought-after in the studio pottery market. We recently achieved remarkable results in our auctions, including an 8-inch high stoneware Spade vase selling for £26,000, a 7-inch Thistle vase for £18,000, three porcelain footed bowls fetching over £70,000, and a 15-inch high Hourglass form vase realizing £82,000.

If you're interested in consigning a work to one of our 19th/20th Century Design sales, we'd be delighted to offer you a complimentary valuation. You can easily upload images and provide additional information using our user-friendly online valuation form below. Alternatively, you can contact our department specialist, Simon Jones, who will expertly guide you through the valuation process and address any questions you may have.

For added convenience, we offer complimentary home visits throughout the West Country, with no obligation attached. If you reside elsewhere in the UK, we are equally happy to discuss your specific requirements.

    “Congratulations on what looked like a very successful sale ! You never mentioned that you did the auctioneering as well ... talk about doing the whole job ... see it into the building, find out what it is, decide if it’s for the Fine Art sale or the General Sale, lot it and describe it accordingly, and then sell it ... that really does count as seeing the job through from start to finish! Whilst the job isn’t over yet, it really is a case of so far, so good ... some items have sold for sums that exceeded our expectations, with one item in particular fetching a truly remarkable sum, so we’re very happy indeed... we’ve noted how accurate the guide prices are ... and how gratifying it is when the bidding goes sailing past the guide ! I found the whole week to be both gripping entertainment and pleasingly rewarding financially. Please accept my sincerest congratulations for a job well done, and we’ll look forward to the October and November Sales with bated breath ...”
