Summers Place Auctions will be holding its eighth Evolution Sale on Tuesday, 24th November 2020 and this time the sale includes some phenomenal examples of former inhabitants of the oceans. Today, we are more concerned than ever about our oceans and these fine examples are not just decorative objects for our homes but a reminder of how fragile nature is.
Summers Place is proud to be able to offer a Coelacanth Painten for auction as this prestigious 200 million year old fossil is rarely uncovered and they almost never come up for sale. Another Jurassic icon included in the auction is a Crinoid plaque from Holzmaden, Germany. Third on the list of Ocean icons is a rare and impressive giant Japanese spider crab mounted on board (122cm by 170cm) and is estimated at £8000-12,000.
Also included are items of taxidermy, such as a large case of North and South American birds, a massive Mammoth tusk and contemporary sculpture
