The bi-annual flagship auction at Gildings Auctioneers generated a stunning hammer price of just over £390,000 on a showstopping day. And that blew away the previous record of about £330,000 as the company scorched to their best-ever result in their proud 41-year history. “We are delighted with the results of this record-breaking sale,” said elated Gildings director Will Gilding. The prestigious Fine & Decorative Arts and Antiques virtual auction went ahead on Tuesday April 27. The high-profile sale attracted over 1,000 online and telephone bidders vying for a wide variety of fine collectables and antiques - including silver, ceramics, sculpture, glass and paintings.
