We are delighted to present our forthcoming Oak Interior Sale, an auction showcasing over 400 years of craftsmanship and social history through a remarkable selection of period oak furniture, sculpture, pewter, tapestries, and works of art.

This sale brings together four notable private collections:

The John Bank Collection (Part I) – An extraordinary assemblage of pewter, carved panels, and works of art, reflecting decades of passionate and discerning collecting.

Seven pieces of pewter recovered from the Punta Cana wreck, Dominican Republic
A fine Elizabethan stool and table
A 15th-century oak corbel carved with a jester
