"Burstow and Hewett - possibly the best auction house in the South East. I think I have furnished my house and contents from them. Be aware though that when I went in for a chair, I came out with two moon gazing hares and one other and this time two silver elephants but no chair - it is easy to get carried away with such goodies for sale."
