Period Oak & Metalwork
Bishop & Miller’s ‘Oak Interiors’ auctions curates a broad range of period Furniture and Furnishings, Metalwork, Stonework, Tapestries, Treen and Textiles from across the 16th, 17th and 18th century. As the leading Oak specialist auction house in the UK, our auctions always contain a varied mix of interesting and highly sought-after items spanning many centuries of history and style.
Carved & Cast
At Bishop & Miller, sales in this area have included carpenter-made and joined early vernacular furniture, refectory tables, panel-back armchairs, coffers, side tables, chests of drawers, back stools, joint stools and chairs, made from a variety of timbers including ash, elm, fruitwood, oak, walnut and yew.
Works of art, including treen (made from wood), early metalware (bronze, brass, copper, iron, pewter and steel), early carvings in stone such as gargoyles and plinths, as well as folk art-related items, are often sold alongside our period furniture in a curated auction that caters for both connoisseur collectors and clients wishing to recreate period interiors.
If you are considering selling early or period furniture, works of art, carpets, textiles and sculptures a member of the specialist team will be delighted to offer their expert advice by telephone, e-mail or in person.
