The Car Collection of the Late Mr George Allen
As a firm, Reeman Dansie are used to inspecting items over 100 years old on a regular basis, however, it is not every day you get a call you inspect a car over 100 years old and certainly not a lifetimes collection of classic cars. That is exactly what happened though, one day in 2020, when our Managing Director James Grinter was called to Halstead in Essex to inspect the collection of the late Mr George Allen of Chapel Hill.

These are only the second set to come to auction, the previous set sold in Reeman Dansie’s 2017 ‘Stanley Studios’ Auction. Dame Elisabeth Frink. who grew up near Bury St Edmunds, is featured several times in this sale which also includes prints, and four further sculptures including the important bronze ‘Bird’, signed and dated ‘52, a bronze cast posthumously, but taken from an early maquette closely related to the seminal breakthrough sculpture ‘Bird’ which was purchased by The Tate in 1953. The present sculpture has never been seen at auction and carries an estimate of £60,000-100,000. Further entries for this specialist sale are invited, closing date for entries 3rd September.
