This gorgeous Beswick walking chocolate Labrador 3062B figure, Collectors Club Special 1993 edition, sold for a very impressive £880
We were incredibly privileged to help sell one of the world’s largest single owner collections of Beswick pieces at auction this month at our Silverdale showroom. The collection belonged to the late Bill Peck who lived in Seattle, Washington, USA, and, to give some context to how big the collection was, it arrived in an articulated lorry! Find out more about Bill and his collection here.
The collection included rare horses, animals, birds, cattle, fish, butterflies, Bunnykins and Beatrix Potter, Kitty MacBride, comical animals and Colin Melbourne design animal and bird models, as well as Beswick Ware early items such as vases, centre pieces, dishes, bowls, tea and dinner ware. Check out some of the highest selling lots below!
The stars of our specialist Beswick auction were this opaque gloss cantering shire horse and rare Colin Melbourne design clown on horse figure. This exquisite shire horse figure sold for a whopping £2,300, making it our highest selling lot of the weekend! This clown on horse figure also did very well, ultimately selling for £1,600.
These charming animal figures were very popular with our buyers. This Royal Doulton early Bunnykins Freddie figure sold for a wonderful £1400, while this Beswick rocking horse grey shire foal went for £1100.
Beswick horse figures are often highly sought after by avid collectors. This delightful Beswick chestnut pony sold for an amazing £1400!
This Beswick Moose in a matte glaze sold for £880, while this set of 3 Beswick standing mallard ducks, all in different colourways, sold for a very respectable £850.
