Some marble fireplace lost and forgotten in the attic, are found and go up for sale in an auction organised by Sotheby’s and will be held at Chatsworth.

The Duke of Devonshire said ” The attics are absolutely choc a block” “we need to make some space and that’s why we’re having the sale”.

With some 20,000 objects made into over 1000 lots which will be viewed in a series of marques in the grounds of  Chatsworth.

Viewing from the 1st October, the house and grounds will still be open to the public during the sale and viewings.

So if you have £200,000 + spare here are some fireplace bargain’s from one of the best Country houses in England.

After the auction has taken place (between 5th and 7th October) I will post the selling prices for these three fireplaces, so watch this space.
