Auction: 20th Century Design, 4th Mar, 2023
A rare stained glass window of St Margaret of Antioch by Pre-Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts luminary Sir Edward Burne-Jones leads the Spring 20th Century Design Sale with an estimate of £15,000-20,000 plus buyer’s premium. A further gem of the Arts and Crafts era on offer in the sale is a Silver and Enamel Cigarette Box by Omar Ramsden and Alwyn Carr (estimate: £4,000-6,000). Omar Ramsden was one of the most acclaimed and successful silversmiths of the early 20th century and a key influence on both silversmithing and the Arts and Crafts movement.
The sale will also offer a bumper selection of fine and early pieces by Yorkshire Arts and Crafts furniture maker Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson from three good private collections; Marco-Pierre White's Rudloe Arms Hotel, Denton Hall near Ilkley and the Tanfield Collection. Also on offer in the sale is an unusual and playful Private Collection of Automata dating from 1970 to 2000.
