Textiles & Fashion
Great Western Auctions offers an international market for Textiles, Vintage and Designer Clothing and Luxury Accessories, and is one of the few UK auctioneers with a specialist department focused on the sale of textiles and fashion.
We regularly feature antique textiles from the seventeenth century to the twentieth century, to include needlework samplers, lace and linen. Our quarterly Fine Art and Antiques auctions showcase particularly exceptional examples of tapestries, embroideries, Georgian samplers and historically important items of dress.
Antique textile-making tools such as bobbins, sewing machines and haberdashery also draw strong interest from collectors.
Reflecting the growing demand for vintage and designer accessories and clothing, recent sale highlights include Mulberry and Gucci handbags, designer footwear and a large collection of vintage gentlemen’s bespoke suiting, attracting worldwide bidders. There is consistently high demand for luxury brands such as Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton, alongside historical items of dress and accessories such as Paisley shawls, antique clothing, fans and purses.
With a rich array of styles and periods on offer, there is sure to be something to catch your sartorial eye.
