Modern Design

Our modern design department is ever growing thanks to the input and expertise of Senior Valuer Chris Yeo. With twenty years of auction experience, time on BBC Antiques Roadshow, and experience as the former curator of the Ken Stradling Collection of 20th century design in Bristol, Chris has really brought this department to life amidst the rising popularity of modern design.

Recent highlights include a selection of items from the Ken Stradling Collection in Summer 2024, notable entries included a Thomas Heatherwick for Magis, Italy, ‘Spun’ chair (which really does spin - check our TikTok to see Craig having a go) which achieved £240 on the hammer.

In the last few years we have also had the pleasure of selling two 'Pulcini' glass birds, reaching £3,600 and £2,500 respectively.

A phenomenal result was the sale of a Dame Lucie Rie porcelain bowl, circa 1984, which sold for a staggering £26,000.
