Sign Up An aristocrat’s treasure trove of heirlooms has been sold for more than £700,000 in a marathon auction that raised twice the pre-sale estimate. The artefacts, including paintings and sculptures, historic pistols, kitchenware and cutlery, were discovered after lying undisturbed for decades in the attics and cellars of Dunrobin Castle, family seat of the 25th Earl of Sutherland. The collection uncovered a new layer of Dunrobin’s history and was said to represent a “fascinating time capsule of domestic operations on a Downton Abbey scale” when announced in February.

Treasures found in castle s attics and cellars fetch £730,000 at auction

A treasure trove of objects found hidden in the attics and cellars of a Highland castle has sold for more than £730,000 at auction. Experts said the items were like a “time-capsule that evoked a bygone age” after they were unearthed at Dunrobin Castle, which was used by the Sutherland family for entertaining during the Scottish season and was visited by Queen Victoria. Paintings and sculptures, crested dinner services, silverware and an array of objects from the kitchen such as oyster stands and Victorian pewter ice cream moulds were among the objects which went under the hammer at Bonhams in Edinburgh on Tuesday.

Scottish Highlands: Treasures found in Dunrobin castle fetch £730,000 at auction

“These wonderfully diverse objects were held in a time-capsule that evoked a bygone age.” They were found during a “decluttering” at the castle, which is near Golspie in Sutherland. Carved oak armorial panels from the Queen Regent’s House in Edinburgh featured in the sale (Jane Barlow/PA) This took place because the castle, which is open to the public, was unable to display all the pieces stored around the building. A set of four carved oak armorial panels, from the Queen Regent’s House in Blythe’s Close, Edinburgh, sold for £17,750, well above the estimate of £4,000-£6,000. Three are thought to date probably from the 16/17th century and the fourth from the 18th century.
