The Contents of a Gentleman's Town House

 

Date: Thursday 29th January 2026

Please note: This auction takes place at our Penzance saleroom.

Preview Lots: 9

 

Tucked away down a side street in Cornwall’s fashionable Penzance, is a very pleasing terrace of five-story, Regency townhouses. The terrace is gated, and has a delightful communal frontage and garden area, each house is approached by a small flight of granite steps to a handsome front door.
 
We enter the vestibule and turn to our left and are immediately struck by an elegant dining room. There is a sense of restrained luxury, a casual gentility, a person of taste lived here.
 
If you would care to meander with us around this refined property with its attractive proportions and pretty rooms, we will show you a selection of charming furnishings, good Cornish paintings, Georgian silver, excellent antiquarian books and the many other things that make this home so comfortable and refined.
 
All will be available for you to view in situ in these pleasant surroundings, during the third week of January, and then to purchase at auction in our saleroom on January 29th 2026. We look forward to welcoming you.

Saturday 24th and Monday 26th to Wednesday 28th January 2026, 10 am to 4 pm
