Charterhouse Beswick and Royal Doulton Auction

A rare Beswick Merino ram is one of the highlights of the Charterhouse auction of Beswick and Royal Doulton in Sherborne on Friday 22nd May.

beswick.jpg“The Merino ram is one of the rarest of Beswick sheep ever produced. It was only available from 1964 until 1967 which is quite a short production run, especially when compared with some of the lambs they made for over 40 years.” Commented Naomi Grabham. “As such, it is one of the “holy grails” of Beswick collecting and will attract keen interest from buyers across the world.”

Designed by Arthur Gredington in 1963, it is very accurately and realistically modelled, which is possibly why a good many farmers are keen collectors, usually supporting the breeds of animals they keep. Charterhouse has been holding specialist auctions of Beswick and Royal Doulton for many years with Naomi Grabham being their specialist in charge. Naomi has been collecting Beswick for nearly 15 years, and it will come as no surprise that Naomi is from a Somerset farming background.

The ram is consigned from a vendor living in Reading wanting to take advantage of this specialist Beswick auction held by Charterhouse, having seen the specialist sales they have on their web site.

Charterhouse is now accepting further entries for their programme of auctions in May including specialist sales Beswick, Doulton & other ceramics, silver and jewellery, and for their next specialist sale of classic cars and motorbikes on Sunday 3rd May at The Bristol Classic Car Show in Shepton Mallet, over the Bank Holiday weekend. For further information regarding these sales, or to arrange a free home visit, please contact Naomi Grabham or Richard Bromell, Partner at Charterhouse, The Long Street Salerooms, Sherborne, Dorset DT9 3BS 01935 812277.
