The Sotheby’s Wormington Manor Country House Sale catalogue is an impressive record of a significant auction event that took place on 21st and 22nd July 2003. This catalogue would be an item of interest not just for those who attended the auction but also for collectors of memorabilia associated with important estate sales, auction enthusiasts, and historians of art and antiques.
Wormington Manor, set in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside, would have housed a collection of items steeped in English heritage. The late Christopher Rowley Esq., whose estate was up for auction, appears to have been a person of refined taste, with 919 lots suggesting a diverse and possibly extensive collection.
This catalogue, with 182 pages of photographs, provides not just a list of items that were for sale but serves as a visual record and a window into the lifestyle and preferences of the late Mr. Rowley. It offers a unique insight into the range of artifacts, furniture, art, and other valuable objects that would have adorned Wormington Manor.
The contents of the catalogue, meticulously scheduled into sessions and lots, reflect the careful planning and organisation typical of Sotheby’s, a reputed auction house known for handling the sale of high-value and historically significant estates.
The additional sections such as Warehouse, Storage and Collection Information, Important Notices, Glossary of Cataloguing Terms, and Sotheby’s Authenticity Guarantee provide crucial information for buyers. They reflect the due diligence and the standard of customer care and service that Sotheby’s is known for.
The Guide for Prospective Buyers and VAT Information for Buyers would be particularly useful for individuals new to the auction process, detailing the intricacies of bidding and purchasing at auction. These guides ensure that all potential buyers are well-informed of the process and any financial implications, such as VAT.
The inclusion of a directory of specialist departments and international offices indicates the global reach of Sotheby’s and the extensive network of experts available to assist in various areas of art and collectibles.
Absentee Bid Forms and a guide to absentee bidding are critical components, reflecting the reality that many bidders cannot be physically present at auctions. This system allows for broader participation from around the world, expanding the reach and competitive nature of the bidding process.
For collectors of auction catalogues, the Sotheby’s Wormington Manor catalogue is a valuable piece. It encapsulates a historical moment in the world of art and antiques, and owning such a catalogue is like holding a piece of history that tells the story of a bygone era and the legacies of past collectors.
