SUMMARY:Woolley and Wallis: Stories of the Sea
DESCRIPTION:An evening of discovery from the specialists at Woolley and Wallis\nThe renowned auctioneers Woolley and Wallis join us for a special summer evening of fascinating talks exploring objects, histories and discoveries connected by the sea.\nSet within the beautiful garden at Arundells, this unique event will feature three specialist speakers from Woolley and Wallis, each offering insight into remarkable objects and the stories they carry across centuries and continents. From the rugged world of 18th-century privateers to the artistic legacy of St Ives pottery, the evening will explore how maritime trade, travel and culture have shaped the objects we treasure today.\nAmong the speakers will be Japanese art specialist Alexandra Aguilar, who will discuss one of her favourite discoveries brought to auction: a spectacular 17th-century Japanese lacquer cabinet once owned by the Barclays banking dynasty. Through its intricate decoration, the cabinet reveals a vivid story of global exchange, depicting Dutch East India Company ships arriving at the island of Dejima during Japan’s Edo period; a rare and extraordinary glimpse into the meeting of East and West across the seas.\nThe evening will conclude with an audience question-and-answer session with the speakers.\nFurther speaker details will be announced shortly.\n\nEvent Details\nDate: Thursday 23 July\nDoors from 5.30pm, talks begin: 7pm\nWhere: Arundells, 59 Cathedral Close, Salisbury, SP1 2EN\nTickets: £18\nWe will be running a bar at this event.\n\nAbout Our Speakers\n\nAlexandra Aguilar joined Woolley and Wallis in 2012.
