November 2016 - Sale Report

SALES REPORT FOR THE TWO DAY AUCTION HELD ON 17^thAND 18^th NOVEMBER 2016.

THE SALE INCLUDED JEWELLERY, SILVER AND PLATE, FURNITURE, CERAMICS,

COLLECTABLES, CLOCKS, PICTURES AND PAINTINGS.

Rendells’ November sale was based around three main house clearances and featured a large selection of antique and later furniture, collectables and jewellery. The sale was very well viewed and attended, with furniture prices continuing to improve. The uncertainty surrounding the financial market and a weaker pound was reflected in the prices paid for solid silver and gold items as people look to “safe haven” investments for there money. Our last sale of the year on 14^th and 15^th December will include a small selection of Christmas Jewellery. You are cordially invited to join us for a mince pie or two and a last chance to pick up a special or unusual gift for a loved one. Next year will see Rendells offering an online bidding platform. Please contact the salerooms for details.
