The November 2017 auction at Moor Park Mansion includes The Pedestal’s first designated section of Early Oak, Country Furniture and associated Objects. Whether it is the depth of colour and centuries of patination on a piece from the 17th century or the versatility of oak when it comes to blending into a more contemporary styled interior, this remains a very popular area of collecting for buyers.
The Pedestal is delighted to welcome Simon Green, formerly the Head of Furniture at Christie’s South Kensington and a well regarded specialist in this area, to oversee this department and to build on the success of the Masters & Makers sales he previously developed.
Consignments include an array of furnishings from coffers and chests, credence and refectory tables, to country and Windsor chairs and ranging from the late 16th century through to country pieces from the 19th century. Objects already consigned include early carvings, lighting and boxes. This section should serve to compliment the strong offering of early walnut and japanned furniture which have been a notable element of the The Pedestal’s previous auctions at Moor Park and are once again a significant highlight of this upcoming sale.
