November at Bellmans | Auction Preview

November at Bellmans is set to be a particularly exciting month as alongside our usual Interiors and The Friday 500 auctions, we will be holding our Modern British and 20th Century Art auction. Bellmans is also thrilled to announce The Lewis & Hylda Gilbert Collection, comprising not only furniture, works of art, silver and jewellery but also the film scripts and production archive of the three times James Bond and Alfie director, Lewis Gilbert. November at Bellmans is certainly a month to watch out for.

In the meantime we've put together a few auction previews below for you until the auctions are live and available to view online.
