Contents of spectacular Aynhoe Park sell for double their estimate at Dreweatts
The sale totalled £4.1 million against a pre-sale low estimate of £1.3 million.
LONDON
.- There was much excitement from around the globe in the last few days, when the contents of the 17th century Grade I Palladian country house, Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire, went under the hammer at Dreweatts. The auction, titled Aynhoe Park: The Celebration of a Modern Grand Tour took place in the form of two live auctions on Wednesday, January 20th & Thursday 21st, 2021 and an online auction on Friday, January 22, 2021.
The collection, from the celebrated family home of James and Sophie Perkins, which has played host to celebrities from the music, film and fashion worlds, drew huge world-wide interest as expected, with spirited bidding online and on the telephones from across the UK, Europe, Asia and the US.

As country houses in the UK go, the Grade I-listed Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire looks every inch the stately Palladian mansion from the outside. Take a stroll within, however, and you’ll be confronted at every corner by sights that, in Lewis Carroll’s words, get curiouser and curiouser.
The family home of James Perkins and his wife Sophie is enchanting, replete as it is with objects that range from the ostentatious to the downright outlandish. Think chairs with antlers, a chest of drawers moulded into a rhinoceros, a lamp made with chocolate resin and ostrich feathers, a model of the 1959 Le Mans-winning Aston Martin DBR1 and even the skull of a triceratops.
