The Fulwood Collection | Interiors | 19 & 20 July 2023

The Fulwood Collection | Interiors | 19 & 20 July 2023

This summer we have our Interiors auction, to include The Fulwood Collection, taking place on Wednesday 19 & Thursday 20 July. 

The Fulwood Collection comes from a Grade II listed rectory in the North of England. Formerly the childhood home of Sir Douglas Bader (a windowpane with an air pellet hole he shot in it has been kept as a memento) the rectory was acquired by the late owner approximately 15 years ago. The house was formerly split into two separate houses and with care he lovingly refurbished it back into a single house and refurnished in a blend of the Grand Tour style and Welsh and English provincial tastes. This auction includes selected furniture, works of art, paintings from the property and includes good collections of  predominately 18th century kitchen utensils and early 20th century leather luggage and cases with which he decorated and ornamented the property.

Fendi was originally started in the early 20th century by Adele and Edoardo Fendi in Rome, Italy. It went on to become the internationally recognised luxury brand for fashion and leather goods that it is today. They began producing home goods under the Fendi Casa brand.

Also included is Lot 62, a suitcase by Luxury brand Louis Vuitton, synonymous with luxury travel cases and accessories, featuring the distinctive caramel and chocolate Monogram design.
