Bonhams invites you to meet our team of specialists who will be available to provide confidential appraisals, free of charge, on any items that you may be considering selling at auction. We are pleased to be hosted by Bilton Grange, one of the leading co-educational prep schools in the country, housed in an outstanding Pugin Mansion set in 100 acres of Warwickshire parkland just outside of Rugby. Built in 1846, the mansion which now houses the main school is a Grade Two* listed building, and features fine examples of the gothic interiors, carved heraldic beasts, stained glass and other design details for which Pugin was so well known. Magnificent stonework and woodcarvings dominate the school library, which has an exquisite hand painted ceiling designed by Pugin. Informal guided tours will be available.
