Monthly Review: September
Number of sales: 5
Number of lots sold: 2,150
Total hammer price: £509,657
September was a memorable month to say the least. Particularly in light of the incredible two day auction The Phillip Clarkson Collection: An Eye for Design.
The auction, held over two days, and compered by Adrian Byrne and Richard Hughes, comprised no less than 1024 lots, with only one lot (Lot 669) not making a sale under the hammer.
Needless to say, from now on the unlucky number 669 will be absent from our salebook!
9th September: Cardiff Monthly
The first sale in September featured Welsh art and porcelain, mid-century furniture, silver, collectables, clocks, and lighting.

11th September: Jewellery, Coins & Watches

15th September: The Philip Clarkson Collection (Part I)
Part I of the Philip Clarkson sale
including Whitefriars and Murano glass, Goldscheider ceramics, enamel signs, British Railway signs, and travel posters.

16th September: The Philip Clarkson Collection (Part II)
The second day of the Clarkson auction marked the final sale at our old location at Pullman House, and what an ending it was!
Part II focused on guitars, music and movie memorabilia, sculpture, fine art, and pottery. With only one lot going unsold, it proved to be a great end to a marathon two-day sale.
Future Chester auctions will take place at our new saleroom at 6, Central Trading Estate, Marley Way, Saltney.

23rd September: North Wales Estates
The final auction in September featured antique and mid-century furniture, maps, model vehicles, and collectables.
