A rare Arts & Crafts necklace, discovered on a jewellery valuation day at The Long Street Salerooms, is being sold by Charterhouse in Sherborne in their specialist jewellery auction on Thursday 31st October.
“Quite honestly, this is the most wonderful necklace I have seen in 40 years of auctioneering.” Commented Richard Bromell. “Despite being made of silver and not gold or platinum, the design, quality and condition of this piece is outstanding.”
The necklace is almost certainly designed by Charles Robert Ashbee. In its original fitted Guild of Handicrafts leather and silk box, it dates to circa 1900 and is estimated at £1,000-2,000.
Charterhouse are now accepting further entries for this auction of jewellery, silver and watches, followed by Asian art.
