Pictured is a detail of the exquisite Tudric pewter and enamel mantel clock which goes on sale at Lyon & Turnbull next week as part of the Decorative Arts Auction.
Dating from around 1900, the piece was created by Archibald Knox for Liberty & Co. in London. Its dial comprises blue and green mottled enamel, and behind the scenes is a Lenzkirch movement.
It is estimated to fetch between £3,000 and £5,000.
Not everything in the sale is so expensive. The green-glazed Wemyss ware pig below – apparently just realising that a late-Friday-night doner kebab was not such a good idea – could brighten your home for a mere £200–£300.
Decorative Arts Auction, Lyon & Turnbull, 33 Broughton Place, 7 November. To find out more visit the website here.
