Hanham Court – A Pastoral Idyll
South Kensington – Christie’s heralds Spring with the sale of Hanham Court – A Pastoral Idyll, an eclectic collection to be held at Christie’s South Kensington on Wednesday, 14 April 2010.
Immersed in the world of antiques from a young age, Isabel and Julian Bannerman first met in Edinburgh in 1982 and have been collecting together ever since. The sale will consist of approximately 300 lots with estimates ranging from £300 to £30,000; and is expected to realize in the region of £400,000.
Funds from the sale will be used to further focus the Bannerman’s efforts on developing the award-winning public garden at Hanham Court, as Julian states
“It is time for surprises in the garden at Hanham – next we hope will come all the things that we have been aching to get on with”.
