Head of Sale: Guy Schwinge

We are honoured to have been instructed to sell the private collection of the late Anthony and Judith du Boulay. Anthony was a leading authority on Chinese porcelain, but he had the “eye” of a true connoisseur and a passion for pieces that he found to be beautiful - from an early St. Cloud vase to an Old Master of the Madonna.

Our auction on the 8th March presents an opportunity to acquire a treasured possession from the du Boulay’s home in Dorset.
