With exhibitions in both Edinburgh and London Selected Items from the Collection of The 17th Earl & Countess of Perth

"In selling a collection inherited from my grandparents, with all the associated emotions, I probably wasn’t the easiest client to deal with but Charlie and Maddy were patient, efficient, and good humoured throughout. They augmented their own considerable expertise by drawing on Bonhams wide range of specialist departments which led to a number of items being sold in specialist sales, maximising exposure to the right buyers, in addition to my main collection sale. I was delighted with the results which considerably exceeded my expectations."

“I was extremely apprehensive about appointing an auction house to sell the vast number of antiques my parents had collected during their lifetime. Charlie and his team were not only delightful people to deal with but also dedicated, thorough and knowledgeable and, importantly, not fazed by the complexity of the task. Their diligence and calm reassured me at what was a very difficult time and resulted in a number of successful sales on behalf of the Art Fund, my brother and myself.”

Each piece tells a story and reflects her spirit and inimitable taste. It is time now for these belongings to find new homes and I hope that they will bring as much joy to their new owners as they did Marianne."
