Posted On: 18 Aug 2026 by John Rolfe

On Saturday 10th October we are delighted to be instructed by the family of the late John Harris OBE (curator and architectural historian for Badminton House and others) to offer to market the selected contents of Laundry Cottage, Badminton House.

The Collection of John Harris OBE

John was a highly respected member of the community and a vast collection of ephemera and engravings from his estate was already sold in late 2024. This fresh to market collection provides a greater shape of the man.

We will be helped by the knowledge of John's family in cataloguing this collection, in honour of John and the work which he put into acquiring the pieces.

Alongside this collection we will also be offering the selected contents of a mansion in Moreton-in-Marsh and a property in The Circus, Bath.

Hopefully the antiques market is on the up, because this is the best collection of antiques and antique furniture we have ever handled and we cannot wait for this 2 day event in October.

See you there!
