The highlight was this sideboard that, although made in the 19th century, included elements from an overmantel that was part of the property rebuilt in 1594 by Roland Huyshe.
Although it was sold as a whole, the primary interest and the value was in these carved panels – one depicting the royal Stuart coat of arms – and a series of figures wearing the finest fashions of the late 16th early 17th centuries (see detail).

It was expected to sell for between £1500-2000 at the auction in Honiton, also Devon, but went on to take £14,500.
