Private collection of Taxidermy comes to Cooper and Tanner sales room

THE AUCTION SECTIONWHAT’S GOING UNDER THE HAMMER THIS MONTH

One of the advantages of selling by auction is that it enables a client to sell property, livestock or antiques, and know that by exposing it to the market and encouraging bidding between buyers they will achieve the current market price.

In the world of property there is a lot of uncertainty, and knowing that when the gavel comes down that you have fully explored the market and encouraged competition between buyers and effectively exchanged contracts in one go is very desirable. Many normal private treaty sales take months to complete, and in the hinterland between agreeing the sale and exchanging contracts there can be many problems, not least of which is that the buyer can renegotiate the price. This is not possible at auction, when the hammer falls, the contract and price are binding and the completion date is set (usually 28 days later). That surety

of sale is very attractive, particularly if for one reason or another (for example the condition) the property in question might be difficult to sell in the normal way. Auctions are also very competitive. Land and livestock auctions attract buyers who are very conscious of value, they know their market intimately and for them buying at a public auction means that they are paying exactly what the market dictates. Therefore, the farmer bringing a lorry load of cattle to our market knows that the buyers are ready, willing and able to purchase. The buyer for his part knows that each Wednesday he can stand in the auction ring and buy what he wants at market price. Both parties like the certainty involved.

One might think that the world of antiques is different, well, with the advent of online bidding, all the above is true but with the attractive addition of reaching national – and indeed international buyers. One of our recent auction sales had buyers registering from as far away as Croatia. So with that type of sale you get market price, certainty of sale and international exposure!

So, whatever you are considering selling by auction you will not regret the decision. If you have any queries please contact me on [email protected]

Cooper and Tanner Antique Sale Rooms are delighted to announce a major sale of Antiques and Collectables on the 9th August.

We already have over 400 lots to sell, including ceramics, oriental items, jewellery, silver, furniture and other collectables. We are particularly excited about a private collection of taxidermy, that we’re sure will stir a flurry of interest. The collection includes a rare Australian Tawny Frogmouth bird guided at £100/150 (originally purchased from Rode Manor in 1955) and a large shoulder mount of a South African Gemsbok valued at £200/300. There are over 15 taxidermy pieces available, alongside more lots from Rode Manor, also included in the sale is a four piece silver tea and coffee service dated 1973, estimated at £400/£600.

Our Saleroom Valuer and Auctioneer Gareth Wasp has spoken highly of this sale, “I am very pleased with the response of our free Antique valuation days at Standerwick and hope to continue to see this high quality array of objects brought in so far”. Upon inspecting the private collection of taxidermy, he added, “Obviously I am absolutely delighted to be selling this small but unique collection of taxidermy, the collection includes hunting trophies from South Africa and rarer and earlier examples from the Edwardian era. Taxidermy is incredibly popular currently with strong prices being seen at auction, and I expect to see plenty of interest in this collection particularly from online bidding via www.ukauctioneers.co.uk”

Gareth is available for free home visit valuations by appointment or at Standerwick office every Tuesday, no appointment is necessary!

We are also on tour… Gareth will be visiting all Cooper and Tanner offices for free antiques valuations mornings, so please come along! Contact Gareth for more details.

SALE ROOMS

As a long standing firm of auctioneers Cooper & Tanner are able to turn their gavels to a wide variety of lots and selling venues. Trevor Rowland, our primary livestock auctioneer, can be found each Wednesday in the relative comfort of the livestock market, selling some of the finest animals in the area. On another day you might see him being driven around a slightly damp field on the back of a pickup truck selling machinery and implements.

Tim Hector sells the calves in the market each Wednesday and also helps Trevor out with the machinery sales. George Trippick, Dennis Barnard and Gareth Wasp are our sale room auctioneers and I will stand up on the rostrum to sell at our land and property auctions. As well as these regular auctioneers Michael Joyce, Chris Eden, Martin Hemmett, Quintyn Howard-Evans and Jake Smith are all familiar with the rostrum and wield the gavel if needed. As local auctioneers we are also often called up to help at local charity events and auctions and have to offer lots as varied as a cruise holiday to a homemade cake. This is a service that we are delighted to be able to offer to the local community and use our skills to help a good cause. I recently auctioneered the cheese at the Midsomerset Show, which took place on the Shepton Mallet showground on the 20th August, and Michael Joyce has the honour of doing the same at Frome Show on the 9th September. Regardless of the size or value of the lot that we are offering for sale I can guarantee that the Cooper & Tanner

auctioneer standing on the rostrum will give each one his utmost care and attention and use his skills to encourage the best price before bringing his gavel down.

One thing that is often apparent when we are standing in front of a crowd of potential buyers is how important the “auction room” is on a social level, whether it is in a field or the livestock market, a harvest supper or golf club. Since markets began they have been a place for farmers to meet and discuss current trades, trends and innovations and it is wonderful to see this tradition continuing still today, even in the fast paced world in which we live. The sale rooms are no different with traders there to see how items sell and to catch up with friends, colleagues and business acquaintances. The very same can be seen at our land and property auctions with familiar faces at each auction, there to see how much lots are making and to meet up with friends and neighbours. Some will be there out of interest, just to spectate and others to give them an idea what their assets might be worth. Whatever their reason for being there it all helps to add to the atmosphere of the auction and we very much welcome everyone.

As well as being a venue to do business and socialise an auction room is also an excellent place to gain an insight into market confidence for each of the sectors in which Cooper & Tanner act as auctioneers. When the gavel comes down on a lot it gives a true snapshot of the market for that lot at that time.

Over the next four pages you will be given an over view of recent and forthcoming sales conducted by Cooper & Tanner including a super dairy herd dispersal for the Arney family from Rode that took place at the livestock market on the 14th August, our forthcoming September land and property auction and details of some of the lots coming up in our ever popular sale rooms. We would love to see you at one of our auctions, even if just to spectate. Details of all forthcoming sales can be found on our website www.cooperandtanner.co.uk

Since our September issue, Cooper and Tanner have continued to see strong participation from both sellers and buyers in the Auction arena. Right across the spectrum, demand continues to be extremely strong, which has resulted in Auctions remaining hugely successful and popular. Our August Property Auction at the Wells Golf Club, which comprised a mixture of residential and agricultural properties, resulted in an 85% success rate, with all the lots either achieving the top end of the guide range or exceeding this.

The strength of demand and prices achieved is also replicated with regard to our livestock sales, as well as sale rooms, where we have continued to see prices exceeding vendors’ expectations.

Certainly, the success of Auction has brought to the forefront the significant variance in land values and you can now see a difference of between £4,000 and £15,000 an acre. This, of course, makes valuing land harder and this is

when an experienced valuer is needed, either myself or one of my colleagues will be happy to provide this advice.

All this success illustrates the many benefits of using Cooper and Tanner. With over 100 years of auctioneering experience across the region, Cooper and Tanner are in an enviable position to offer experience and expert advice on selling by auction. Our Auctioneers are fully trained and regulated by the RICS Rules of Conduct. This provides clients with more informed advice on selling property, livestock, machinery, antiques and fine art.

Over the next four pages, you will be given an overview of our recent and forthcoming sales, as well as details of the various lots which are being offered.

To register for any of our auctions please e-mail us or contact your local Cooper and Tanner branch – they will be delighted to help.

LIvESTOCK OUTSIDE SALES LAND & PROPERTY

Cooper and tanner’s antiques and Collectables sale on the 18th october was a huge success, selling live for the first time via the-saleroom.com, with over 280 internet bidders and a crammed saleroom, this was certain to be a fantastic outcome!

The slow market for ‘brown furniture’ is well known but despite current trends we managed to achieve several notable results including a 1930’s oak display cabinet which saw strong local interest as well as online bidding from South Korea eventually selling for £300 in the room.

The oriental market not only continues to be buoyant but also unpredictable, with three telephone bidders booked for lot 1 and live bidders at the ready, a pair of Chinese ivory and bone plaques consigned by a Frome vendor were sure to go out on a high…. seven minutes later they were finally sold to a Hong Kong bidder for £7,000! Fast forward to lot 164, a Chinese white jade table screen. This time there were two telephone buyers fighting it out and whilst the internet bids remained strong, it was one of the telephone bidders that was successful, again a buyer from Hong Kong, placing the winning bid at £6,200.

A fantastic collection of postcards including some political examples sold above their £200/£300 estimate for £400, a Navy League map of the British Empire saved from a local school sold on the internet for £150 against a £50/80 estimate.

Auctioneer and valuer Gareth Wasp stated after the sale “Having the additional internet exposure helped our sale room achieve such a great result, everyone worked hard to achieve such a positive sale and I am delighted that it was one of the most successful antiques sale in Cooper and Tanner’s history. We are already building for our next Antiques and Collectables sale on the 6th December, often the best time of year to sell jewellery and silver, and will be accepting entries until the 22nd November”.

this is a very result driven newspaper this month. We have Quintyn’s introduction on page two about results achieved by our residential sales team, within this section we have presented examples of success generated by our land and property auctions, and the article below by gareth Wasp of our Sale rooms department talks about prices achieved during our most recent and hugely successful internet auction (there are more results from that sale on the back cover). next, you have a report on Page 13 by my colleague trevor roland about our recent machinery sale at the market and finally martin Hemmett discusses land sale prices on Page 14.

Why are results so important? Well, I suppose this is partly driven by the time of year, with the nights really starting to draw in, it feels like time to review what sort of year 2017 has been.

But results are also important because it is all very well saying that you are a successful auctioneer, valuer or estate agent, showing that you are is a real test

of ability. So, what do the results show? Firstly, looking at the Land and Property auctions, this year has seen a 81% success rate, based on an industry average of 75.3%. This is an excellent result, on many occasions we have achieved not only far over the guide, but well in excess of the vendor’s expectations. Our first antique sale via www.thesaleroom.com saw on line bidders and ‘in the room’ buyers push the same to a 87% success rate. Again, a very high figure, with some outstanding results achieved.

Trevor Rowland’s Outside Sales are always successful, the sold rate of 89% at this sale was again a very high number with lots of happy vendors (and indeed purchasers). So, I think I can say that the results of our auctions this year speak for themselves, if you would like your property or any other item to be included in that success story, please let us know, we will be delighted to help.

What’s hot at auction and current auction trends...The downturn for brown furniture is well known, but what areas are currently selling well at auction? Will brown furniture come back? These are the questions I frequently get asked, so here are some answers:

In recent years the rise of Scandinavian and 20th century design has grown in popularity, with some positive results being achieved in our auction. Interior designers are looking towards a minimalist and simplistic approach, and this has had a positive effect on prices for this type of furniture when they are put on to the open market, mid-20th century design certainly is hot property.

Ercol is probably the leader from the U.K. with its popularity achieving strong prices throughout auction the world, G- Plan is in second place with demand always high for the more interesting and rarer pieces. With this in mind traditional brown furniture is somewhat difficult to sell and the glory years seem to have all but gone. However, I think that brown furniture is making a comeback and I have personally invested in several pieces

over recent months, it offers quality, style, charm and longevity. You can very easily purchase Victorian bow chest of drawers at auction for less than £150! I genuinely believe auctions offer excellent value for money, my house is full of auction buys, I admit I have yet to visit Ikea but why would I when antiques offer quality, individuality and value.

The Antiques Trade, Interior designers and collectors are always looking for innovative, different and unique items. Cooper and Tanner salesrooms sell over 400 lots every week and we always offer a wide section of items. Alongside our weekly sale we also have an Antiques & Collectables sale every six weeks, valuations are offered every Tuesday from 9am - 5pm, contact Gareth Wasp for information.

So, whether you have some 20th century furniture, or indeed some nicer pieces of ‘brown’ furniture, contact Cooper and Tanner for free, impartial advice.

Sold prices are plus buyer’s premium at 16% plus VAT

The salerooms have had a fantastic year so far and we are looking forward to the last sale of 2018 on 5th December and to the New Year ahead. The Specialist Antiques, Collectables & Vintage Fashion Sale in

September was a huge success and reflects the ever growing current market trend for vintage items. Also included in this sale was a single owner collection of Roman rings that sold exceptionally well. Some of

the highlights of the sale are in the photographs on this page and there were many more besides.

whilst the end of the year is approaching, the nature of auction means that we are always looking ahead to the next sale. so if you think you might have something suitable to sell, our valuer and auctioneer Gareth

wasp is always happy to help. the calendar for 2019 is almost finalised and copies will be available from cooper and tanner offices.

we are currently in the final stages of an exceptionally large and complex clearance of an estate. we can deal with all aspects of advising, valuing, selling and disposing of any size of estate. we are happy to visit to

provide some initial advice.
