Hosted every six weeks, this auction boasts a wonderful variety of objects from the near and distant past.
This upcoming auction includes a real assortment of wonders, with a little something for everyone. An impressive 19th century ornithological taxidermy display - comprising eighteen exotic birds (!) - is one lot that's certainly not to be missed. The same can be said for a number of other pieces from that era, including a beautiful boulle pier cabinet and a double barelled percussion pistol. A very fine collection of military lots is another highlight of this auction catalogue, with 75 lots of medals and militaria due to go under the hammer in this sale.
Entries are currently invited for the next auction taking place on 15 January. For a complimentary, no-obligation valuation, visit our Glasgow Galleries or contact a specialist on 0141 810 2880 or auction@mctears.co.uk.
