Year of the horse. Today sees the start of Chines Year of the horse.

Today sees the start of Chinese New Year celebrations, welcoming in the year of the horse. 

Horses were particularly central to the Chinese Tang dynasty, which ran from 618 to 907 and secured the safe re-opening of overland trade routes known as the Silk Road.

Horse drawn caravans travelled as far west as Rome, and the horse became a symbol of wealth and power, widely used in Chinese art and sculpture of the time. 

In 2022 we were delighted to offer for sale the collection of Alison Barker, a charming but eccentric polymath with a particular fascination for Eastern artefacts. The collection included several Tang dynasty horse models, all of which found new homes in the auction. 

If you have a passion for collecting and would like to know what your collection might be worth, call us on 01948 800 202 to book a valuation appointment with one of our specialists.
Happy valentines day and love – or love symbols at Happy valentines day and love – or love symbols at least - are all around! 

Hearts are perhaps the most potent symbol of Valentine’s Day, and we were delighted to offer this beautiful example for sale in our February auction. 

Dating from the early 20th century, the heart shaped pendant was suspended on a double style trace link chain, and sold for £1100 plus fees.

Who knows - perhaps it’s being fastened around the neck of someone’s beloved this very day!

If you would like to know what your jewellery would be worth, why not call us on 01948 800 202 to book a valuation appointment with our specialist Amelia Tomkinson FGA.
