With more than 1,000 lots going under the hammer at the March auction, being held on Saturday March 7, you really will be spoilt for choice. Vintage teddies, stunning glassware, stylish furniture and characterful antiques are just some of the fantastic items up for grabs.

Based in Sticklepath, Devon, this month’s exciting lots include a collection of quirky lamps converted from vintage objects such as a trumpet part, a copper cylinder pump and blow torches. There are also some fascinating local-interest items, including an Okehampton brass bell weight, vintage photographs and a large rustic wooden egg-packing box.

The resurgence in popularity of all things retro has brought a plethora of computer games to the sale — all in working order — and a must-have for collectors. For antique lovers, there’s a beautiful pair of Art Deco porcelain and white marble bookends, stunning original oil paintings and fabulous collectible ceramics.

If you’re looking for something a little unusual, how about a life-size anatomical human model with male and female parts — guaranteed to spark conversation at your next dinner party! There’s also an original embalming machine, the largest farmhouse bread board you’ll probably ever see, and a divine little antique reading desk.

Whatever you’re after — or didn’t realise you wanted — you’ll find it at Dartmoor Auctions!
