Clive Emson Auctioneers Catalogue 184 Lots – So let’s go Explore!
“If travel broadens
the mind just imagine how broad our minds must be,” comments Clive Emson,
adding “we have travelled the eastern shores of Kent
to the West Country and from the tropical island of the Isle of Wight to the M4
corridor (well, perhaps the Isle of Wight is
not so tropical!) But, nonetheless, we have clocked up the miles to bring you
some exciting and exquisite Lots in the latest Clive Emson auction
catalogue. So with 184 Lots let’s go
explore!
