Bag bargains for your ‘homemade home’ at auction – Press Release

For those inspired by Kirstie Allsop’s ‘hands on’ approach to home improvement, as showcased in her recent TV series ‘Kirstie’s Homemade Home’, a trip to the local auction house could be a great way to find furniture and accessories that give a really individual touch – and that won’t break the bank.

As more and more people move away from the identikit Ikea look, Head Auctioneer and MD of Penkridge auction house Cuttlestones, Ben Gamble, has seen a new breed of auction-goers attending his regular sales:
“We’ve noticed a real boom in the number of people attending our sales, especially those who are new to the auction process. People are becoming more savvy about what they spend, and are learning that auctions can be a great place to pick up really interesting pieces.

And if you think that auctions are all about antiques, think again – as Ben explains:
“Obviously we specialise in antiques – and if you’re serious about picking up antique pieces, then our quarterly Fine Art sales are a great place to start. However, our weekly general sales feature really diverse lots including modern furniture, from three piece suites through to bunk beds, dining sets, electrical appliances and everything in between. And it’s not all second hand – we often get concessions from retail stores that are either closing down or selling off showroom pieces, so it’s well worth a visit if you’re looking to furnish your house on a budget.”

And the proof is in the pudding – recent bargains bagged by bidders at Cuttlestones include a modern 3 piece suite which sold for just £200 and a set of garden furniture which was snapped up for just £60! To ensure you don’t miss out on what could be your bargain match made in heaven, pop into Cuttlestones every Wednesday to view the lots from 9am, before the sale starts at 10.30am.
