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

There were a number of new faces at Chorley’s sale on 24th September 2009 as some of them were there to contest Lot 1, a Ford Popular two-door saloon car.  This had been garaged for 30 years and would make a superb restoration project.  An estimate of £300-500 was soon overtaken and the new owner paid £700, arguably a bargain but then these cars retailed at £390 in the 1950s!
