Chorley’s enter the new decade with a sale at 10.30 on Thursday 21st January spanning a wide variety of categories and with a large number of
exceptional pieces.

Chorley’s are delighted to be offering a good collection of Old Master
and British pictures in their Thursday 10th December sale.
Eleven paintings come from Penarth in South Wales. They belonged to the
late Millicent Hope Bovey who had inherited a very large collection of
Old Master and British Paintings from the estate of Mr R.W. Pettigrew.

Recent years have seen the demise of the house sale owing to a number of considerations, not least the lack of suitable properties coming onto the market.  While it was impossible to hold the sale of Ryelands Farm, Taynton, Gloucestershire on the premises, the house contents were of impeccable provenance and quality, resulting in a magnificent sale at Chorley’s on Thursday 22nd October 200

Not since C. R. Ashbee, the founder of the Guild of Handicraft (est.1888) and ceramicist William De Morgan produced a few very special commissions at the turn of the 20th century has the Guild worked with a contemporary potter.

A packed saleroom saw a number of astounding results at Chorley's on Thursday 25th June Fine Art sale. In recent times we have seen the polarisation of prices to the extent that certain traditional fare is fetching next to nothing and other items are reaching record prices.
