About the Item

Christie's 12/2010 The Barratt Collection from Crowe Hall, Bath. 1st Ed softcover auction catalog. Christie’s offered the contents of one of the finest Regency villas in Bath, Crowe Hall, at the King Street salerooms on Thursday, 16 December 2010. Crowe Hall was the home of Sir Sydney Barratt (1898-1975), a chemist whose advice to Sir Winston Churchill and the War Cabinet from 1942 to 1944 helped to secure the development of the ‘bouncing bomb’. The sale was expected to raise in excess of £1.8 million and included Old Master and British pictures, English furniture, silver, porcelain and Italian ‘Grand Tour’ bronzes bought by Sir Sydney and his son to furnish this remarkable villa, which is nestled beneath the Palladian grandeur of Prior Park. Individual estimates ranged from £500 to £80,000. NPT Books a division of N.P. Trent Antiques has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
