Country House Auctions

Last Updated on Wednesday, 9 November 2011 10:55 Written by External Post Wednesday, 9 November 2011 10:55

Following World War II, the vast workforce needed to run and maintain a stately or country home was depleted due to the fact of soldiers either continuing their duties or finding better paid jobs in towns.

The final nail in the coffin came after World War II left many buildings in a poor state of repair, agricultural supplies declined and higher taxes were levied. Therefore, the only solution, in order to raise funds was to hold contents auctions in the grounds. This led to a period of fantastic finds for the educated and knowledgeable antique dealer. Sales were hastily advertised in the local press and encouraged dealers to travel to all parts of the country seeking out the catalogued treasures.

However times have changed with the power of the Web. Auctioneers can now fully orchestrate a country house sale without any hiccups, although sometimes months are needed to organise the sales. They can be very rewarding for the seller as a house sale can show the objects in their own setting which can influence buyers to pay a higher premium.

Gone are the days of the large stately home having all its contents displayed on its lawns, but the concept is still there for smaller estates to offer for sale their complete contents and raise funds with organised and well marketed techniques. Press releases encourage buyers from all over the world and interest is raised in anticipation of the treasures yet to be discovered.
