Rare silver coffee Biggin could fetch £6,000 at Charterhouse auction
A rare George III silver coffee Biggin is set to fetch up to £6,000 at auction. The item, made by renowned 19th-century silversmith Paul Storr in 1803, is one of the highlights of the Charterhouse two-day specialist auction of silver, jewellery and watches. The auction will take place on Wednesday, April 30 and Thursday, May 1. Richard Bromell, from Charterhouse, said: "This coffee Biggin would certainly have graced the table on a country house and has always been an expensive and desirable way to make your coffee." The coffee Biggin was discovered alongside various other silver items, including trays and a wine funnel, at a valuation day at The Long Street Salerooms in Sherborne. The items had been hidden away in a vintage suitcase for more than 25 years. All were wrapped in old newspaper and were valued, catalogued and entered into the Charterhouse specialist auction. Further entries of silver, jewellery and watches are being invited for the two-day auction. Charterhouse is a family run auction house, based in Sherborne, specializing in antiques, classic cars, motorcycles and probate items. Richard Bromell and the Charterhouse team can be contacted for valuations at The Long Street Salerooms, Sherborne, on 01935 812277 or via rb@

Icon of modern motorbikes listed for auction
AN icon of modern motorcycles has been entered into a Dorset-based auction. The Honda RC30 is estimated to sell for between £30,000 and £35,000 when it is sold at Sherborne-based Charterhouse's auction at Haynes Motor Museum on March 13. This model rolled off the production line in 1988 and was registered in the UK in 2007. In that time, it has recorded just 3,565 miles on the clock. Auctioneer George Beale said: 'Just 3,000 RC30s were produced 1987-1990 by the Honda Racing Corporation for homologation purposes for the World Superbike Championship. 'Costing an eye-watering US $15,000 new didn't deter buyers and today they are highly sought after.' Charterhouse is now accepting further entries for this specialist auction of classic motorbikes. George Beale and the Charterhouse team can be contacted for valuations on classic and vintage motorbikes at The Long Street Salerooms, Sherborne, 01935 812277 or via bikes@
