Cooper and Tanner’s last sale of the year was hugely successful with highlights including a Steinway grand piano selling for £13,800 on the hammer, an 18ct gold watch chain with a 19th century gold coin attached at £2,300 and a beautiful Maori feather box selling at £2,900. However, the most anticipated lot of the sale was a rare 19th century Charles Frodsham regulator wall clock. “The Fine Jewellery and Watches sale in November was also fantastic with some stunning period pieces going under the hammer,” said valuer and auctioneer Rachael Boothroyd-Walker. “In 2025 our hugely popular sales will be returning with another three sales planned for the year. Our regular valuation days will also be held in Frome, Warminster and across Somerset.”Valuation days in the Frome office are: Saturday 18th January (9am to 1pm only) and Wednesday 12th February.
