Peter Cornish was a designer, maker, manager and educationalist.
He was born in 1941 into the devastation left behind by the London Blitz and between 1946 and 1951 he lived with his family in a Nissen hut in Brixton; 1946 was one of the coldest winters on record.
From this rather unpromising beginning Peter found himself at newly opened Kingsdale School, south London, one of the first comprehensive schools in the UK. He soon emerged as a talented artist and with the support of his teachers was encouraged on his educational journey. Following a foundation year at Goldsmiths College he enrolled at Beckenham School of Art where he studied what was recognised as the ground breaking 3D design course set up by furniture designer Robin Day. From here he won a place at the Royal College of Art where he found himself absorbed in the rich and stimulating talent of the 1960s design revolution. During this period, he married his childhood sweetheart, Patricia.
Peter quickly found employment at Avalon Furniture who were looking for young designers to respond to the taste for contemporary design. This necessitated relocating to Clevedon where he recorded the first piece for his personal collection, a Lalique bowl.
Moving back to London in 1967, he began his collecting adventures in earnest, which included innumerable trips to Portobello Road Market with his young family in tow.
Over the next twenty years he worked for Avalon, Lebus and Meredew, later Stag Meredew. He held several positions from general manager, design director to company director, although his passion remained design.
As tastes in furniture changed Peter decided to move away from manufacturing and found employment at Buckinghamshire College of Art & Design, where his skills as a manager and his broad interest in all forms of art made him an ideal leader for the College. He retired as Vice Dean in 2009.
Retirement provided him with the time to focus on his passion for collecting and making. Throughout his life he had designed and made furniture that paralleled his interest in the Arts & Crafts movement, which for him employed tangible processes, accessible technologies and beautiful materials. He was also a great raconteur ensuring his collections were always brought to life with exciting stories of context, people and aesthetics.

Lots marked with an dagger (†) are subject to VAT on the hammer price. Lots marked with an omega (Ω) have been temporarily imported from outside the EU and are subject to VAT at 5% on the hammer price and the buyer’s premium.

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE
Lots marked with a Φ symbol are potentially subject to a levy.
Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death.
Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to lots selling below £1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is £12,500.
Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency.
Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:
4% Up to £50,000
3% £50,000.01 200,000

FIREARMS
Lots marked Ƒ in the catalogue, or by any other means identified as controlled firearms, are subject to the UK firearms/shotgun licencing regime, and should only be viewed/purchased by individuals with appropriate licences. It is the responsibility of the bidders to ensure that they are legally authorised to acquire the lot that they are bidding for. In the event that such a lot is successfully bid for by an individual who is not authorised to possess it, that individual will be required to pay for it, but will not be allowed to take physical possession of it. The auctioneers will reoffer the lot on behalf of the buyer in a future auction; or may accept instructions to dispose of it by some other legal means, at their discretion.
VALUATIONS
Valuations are a core part of our business and are usually carried out by a senior specialist or directors. Accuracy, speed and above all confidentiality are paramount.
INSURANCE VALUATIONS
Written valuations for insurance can vary from a single item to a large estate. Before starting we discuss the various options available so that the valuation is specifically tailored to individual client’s needs.
For valuations of an entire house contents an itemised bound valuation is produced and can be accompanied by photographs when required. In addition to providing an inventory, written valuations can prevent painful arguments with a loss adjuster in the event of a claim.
Woolley & Wallis valuations are accepted by all leading insurance companies.
PROBATE VALUATIONS
We offer a speedy and professional service for executors and trustees and provide bound valuations for probate and duplicate copies when required. Since security is often a consideration, we can usually arrange for a house to be cleared and sent for auction, our Valuations Department ensures that executors are informed of which sales are involved and the results thereof.
We also carry out valuations for Family Division, Capital Gains Tax, and Private Treaty Sales.
