Some very rich pickings at country house collections sale

The annual Townley Hall auction organised by James Adam offers plenty of choice for collectors

A Louis Quinze commode with marble top at Adam's.

A LOUIZ QUINZE marquetry commode and a pair of Sevres ormolu-mounted urns, anyone? They don't come cheap but they would definitely add a certain je ne sais quoi to any stylish home. Or how about a pair of 19th-century mahogany framed long club seats? You could organise a licit rave for two here in times of pandemic, with a socially distant get-together and ample room to stretch out and sleep it off afterwards.
