Following on from the Collectors Sale at
Dreweatts and Bloomsbury last
November the phone was soon ringing. Eager clients with costume, accessories, lace, fans and feathers wishing to discuss the possibility of parting with their collections.
Many of the items consigned to the next sale have been worn, loved and then stored away by generations.
As well as fashionable costume, there are also trimmings, textiles and cases of old sewing patterns.....
These bolts of fine chiffon came from the well known tailors and purveyors of quality bespoke traditional country clothing, Huntsman of Savile Row. Alongside these textiles there will be jackets and suits made from Harris tweed in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as funky tweed coats. One of the best things about this collection is that the sizing is approximately a UK 14, a rarity in the world of Vintage!
Gentlemen will not be left out as there are vintage suits, jackets, ties, cravats and coats included in the sale.
The on-line catalogue can be seen
here. The sale is on Tuesday 26th February. Viewing is on Saturday 23rd February from 9.30 to 1 pm. Monday the 25th February from 9.30 to 6 pm and on the morning of the sale. Online bidding is available, please contact the Bristol office to register.
