The gorgeous collection of one of the founding fathers of English Country House style is up for sale (opens the original)
Read excerpt
‘The fluidity of his drawing comes across in everything. You see it particularly in sketches because the nature of a sketch is that they are more fluid and expressive. I love his piece of a teapot full of shells. I just think: “What a gorgeous idea”.’ This is what Lucinda Oakes has to say about her father’s work. George Oakes (1927-2017) was a decorative artist renowned for his time at the British interiors firm Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler, where he was a director. Now, The Collection of George

Read excerpt
The English-American actor Cary Grant was a Hollywood star with a generous streak: not only did he give his own gold watch to the woman who cared for his mother in her old age, but he also covered her nursing home fees. The family of this woman, Maggie Leach, are now selling the storied timepiece. The watch will go under the hammer on September 10, at Clevedon Salerooms, as part of the auction house’s Autumn Specialist Sale of Antiques and Collectables. Born in Bristol, Grant rose to fame in cla
