On offer will be a rare 1940s Jaeger Le Coultre Reverso watch, Rolex watches, fine antique and modern jewellery, stunning silver and other luxury items.
The sale presents a first-class opportunity for those wishing to dispose of top notch pieces for the best prices.
Mel Lee-Patrick FGA DGA, valuer for Jewellery, Silver and Watches at Hansons Bishton Hall, said: “This sale is a prime opportunity to sell top-tier watches, jewellery and silver in prestigious surroundings which are complementary to the pieces.
