A unique opportunity to buy weathered Haddonstone - without the need to bid at auction …

Weathered Haddonstone normally attracts a premium when sold at auction. In a recent auction at Sotheby’s, four charming 20th century stone planters went under the hammer for over £5,000. But there was a twist. The pieces were manufactured by Haddonstone around 15 years before and are still made by the company today, selling for the modest sum of £60 each.

This weathered look is attractive to auction buyers, who often prefer their pieces to be ‘aged’ and are consequently prepared to pay a significant premium. And this is not the first time this has happened. In 1989 four similar Plaited Baskets, made ten years previously, were sold for £1000. At the time they retailed at only £36.50 each.

Haddonstone’s Plaited Baskets are not the only designs proving to be good investments. In a sale at Diss auctioneers Gaze & Son, a pair of “well weathered” Gothic Urns with Bases, identified as Haddonstone products, sold for £1400. Available new for £265.00 each, this sale generated an impressive profit for the client.

Rather than customers having to bid at auction, Haddonstone is now able to offer a unique collection of exquisitely weathered designs at sensible prices on a first come, first served basis. We have also added in a number of mahogany doors originally created for use at exhibitions.

These weathered stone pieces can currently be viewed at Haddonstone's acclaimed show gardens, located in East Haddon, Northamptonshire.
