The Valuable Contents of Holywath, Coniston.
Under the shadows of the formidable Old Man of Coniston lies one of the Lake District’s least known and yet most romantic country estates – Holywath.
 
The home of the Hext family since 1830, this four hundred year old house became as important in the social life of the Lake District as Brantwood and Water Park (the contents of which were sold by Tennants in July 1987).
 

A fine selection of early English floral porcelains will almost certainly get bidders into the mood for some Spring Time purchasing at Tennants two day Catalogue sale 26-27 March.

With five days of viewing (21-25 March inclusive), and 1500 stunning lots to cover, please reach for your diaries now! Many items are being offered for sale for the first time in their history.

 
Tennants Auctioneers achieved their highest sale total ever – taking over £2 ¼ million pounds (£2.59 million including commission) for their three day art and antiques auction 19-21 November 2009.
An array of over 1,800 privately sourced lots proved particularly tempting for those with spare savings, looking for something tangible and beautiful to own, rather than sitting on a low interest earning bank account.

A rare Marklin car makes a Tennants-record price for a toy of £38,000 at Tennants Auctioneers of Leyburn North Yorkshire.
 
Tennants Auctioneers of Leyburn North Yorkshire took an overall hammer price of £1.2 million at their Summer Auction Sale (17 & 18 July) – confirming a renewed vigour and confidence in the antiques market, as public and trade buyers vied for the rare, beautiful and unusual. There is generally a paucity of really high quality items on the market (perhaps partly due to a slow housing market) so much so that demand outstrips supply.
