Curry Rivel: Successful Sale by Messrs. C. R. Morris, Sons, & Pead: Messrs. Morris, Sons, & Pead have added another to the list of successful sales of the contents of mansions and other residences by the auction which they recently conducted at Wiltown Place, Curry Rivel. The sale was conducted by Mr. C. R. Morris and Mr. R. S. Morris, and the lots numbered 620. They were the property of the representatives of the late Mr. Charles Fry, and comprised unique furniture, rare and ancient specimens of carved black oak, valuable oil paintings and coloured prints … … Amongst the valuable articles included in the sale was a most perfect and genuine example of a Chippendale pier glass of exquisite design, in scrolls, flowers and pendants, surmounted by a bird, measuring 6ft 4in. long and 3ft wide.

There were several competitors up to L. 70 and the contest was then continued by Mr. W. Kelway of Langport, Mr. Oatway of London, who was acting for an American gentleman whose name did not transpire; and another London dealer. When L. 100 was bid by Mr. Oatway, there was a round of applause, and the article was eventually knocked down to Mr. Kelway at L. 161, amid great excitement. … (other items include an) … Oriental sexagonal lantern, richly carved, with gilt and coloured glass decorations, which once formed the hall lantern on the Earl of Chatham’s Burton Pynsent house, L. 1 5s …
