THE Charterhouse two day auction on July 7-8 will include the residual contents of a Somerset country house.

From the country house there will be furniture, ceramics, metalwares, rugs and pictures for sale.

One of the more unusual lots are two tables made from timber on the estate when the trees blew down. Each table has a four plank top the larger table measures an amazing 20 feet long.

John Snape from Charterhouse said: “We are most happy sorting through country houses such as this which was built in the 1720’s.

“We even found some 40 year old Margaux in the cellar along with Coalbrookdale style garden furniture in the outbuildings.

“The country house look remains hugely popular today with interior designers and private clients furnishing their homes but mixing this up with a more modern look.

“This is perfect timing as the Charterhouse auction on July 7 will have a great selection of mid-century modern furnishings to mix in with the country house antiques.”

Viewing for this two day auction with mid-century modern furnishing and the residual contents of the Grade II* listed Somerset country house is on Monday July 4 to Thursday July 7 at the Sherborne salerooms.
