Also part of the very eclectic furniture section are a number of dining tables, chairs, and sideboards, perfect for the festive season. Elsewhere in the sale there is a collection of eighteenth century Derby consigned from a local deceased estate, a number of bronzes to include a continental group of two with unusual verdis gris green finish, around ten air rifles by various different manufactures, swords, daggers, etc.

Finally, for ‘grown up’ children there is a vast collection of vintage Meccano to keep you occupied after Christmas lunch.
