We welcome British auction house Dreweatts 1759 to Auctionet!
Dreweatts 1759, one of the UK’s oldest and most distinguished auction houses, will offer online auctions under the name Dreweatts Timed Online and in association with Auctionet.
The UK is a country with a big interest in art and antiques. No matter where you go and the size of the town you are visiting, you are very likely to find at least one antiques dealer and an auction house filled with exciting antiques.
This interest goes far back and has its roots in both a large domestic manufacture of items and extensive importing of items by explorers, from colonies and from trade with the rest of the world.
What we in Sweden mostly associate with British antiques is probably George III, Edwardian and Victorian furniture, and Wedgwood, Staffordshire and Davenport porcelain. Many auction visitors will also recognise the countless British paintings showing the Highlands, fox hunts or historical interiors.
British antiques and art are so much more than the examples above. With Dreweatts 1759 entering Auctionet, a whole new world of British items will open up. You will have the chance to get to know totally new potters, glass artists, painters and furniture styles. As well as a plethora of strange curiosities you didn't even know existed.
The British style has been fairly popular for many years. But in recent years it has grown even more after a number of successful television programs that has sparked the interest for historical Britain including Downton Abbey, The Crown and Mr Selfridge – all filled with British antiques. Let us not forget popular antiques programmes such as Antiques Roadshow, Bargain Hunt and Antiques Road Trip as well.
In addition to typical and not-so-typical British items, you will also find items from around the world at Dreweatts. Their areas of expertise – outside of British items – include Asian art and works of art, jewellery, watches, silver, clocks, manuscripts, carpets and model engineering.
We invite you to explore all the items from Dreweatts below!
