Lyon & Turnbull have developed a strong reputation for the sale of Tapestries & Textiles, through our auctions which take place across the UK in Edinburgh and London, and via live online auctions.
Our specialists are knowledgeable, not only about textiles and tapestries, but also the current marketplace, an essential combination that leads to successful sales of fine tapestries and hand-woven textiles from both at home and abroad, from fine British examples to regions such as Turkey, the Caucasus, Tabriz and across the Middle East and Asia.
Significant sales of tapestries have included pieces from the collection of Lord and Lady Rochdale at Lingholm in Cumbria, such as the late 16th/early 17th century Flemish Biblical tapestry The Creation and Fall of Man which sold for £91,000 and a late 16th century Brussels Millefleurs tapestry which made £62,400.
Tapestries & textiles are currently included in a range of auctions throughout the calendar, from dedicated sections in our antiques and design auctions to single-owner collections and house sales.
All sale results shown are inclusive of buyer’s premium.
