| Portrush Town Hall was almost filled to capacity for the clearance sale of the contents of ‘Marlborough House’, Kerr Street, Portrush, the home of the late Mr Norman Maen deceased.
The large turnout was anticipated following five busy viewing sessions at the house in Kerr Street and buyers travelled from all over the province and some Southern buyers also attended the sale, while some attended the preview and bid over the busy telephone lines, which were red hot all evening.
Top price of the sale was £2600 for a very good Four Door Breakfast Sideboard. The sideboard which was in very good condition and a lovely colour created a lot of interest, and made over the presale estimate of £1000-£1200, and despite province wide competition, ended up with a local buyer.
Two superb Full Height Mirrors, which were the talk of the evening, again generated amazing interest resulting in £2000 for one and £1650 for the other. While one remained relatively local the other was purchased by a Southern buyer.
Other prices on the night included a Double Weight Vienna Clock £580, A Turnover Leaf Tea Table £580, a Mahogany Centre Table £380, Shaped Front Credenza £900, Drop End Upholstered Settee £640, Mahogany Chest £250, Astragal Glazed Wardrobe £190, Mirror Backed Hall Stand £150, Gilted Metal Wall Clock £400, Balloon Backed Easy Chair £220, Pair of Open Arm Chairs £210, Dining Room Table and Chair Set £150, Two Seater Settee £290, Gilted Mirror Backed Wall Bracket £145, Mahogany Canterbury £220, Cast Metal Stick Stand £175, Oak Monks Bench £210, Oval Wall Mirror £260, Brass Coal Scuttle £170, Pair of Satsuma Vases £60, Pair of Swarvoski Candlesticks £65, Inlaid Mahogany Sutherland Table £110, Mahogany Writing Desk £240, Two Folding Fire Screens £100 etc.
