Heron with fishy prey

A LIFE-SIZE stick stand depicting a Grey Heron, plus prey, is expected to attract plenty of  interest at a sale next month.

Auctioneers Tennants of Leyburn, in North Yorkshire, are expecting Lot 139 - the 1885 Minton Majolica work by French sculptor  Paul Comolera (1818 - 1895) - to attract bids upwards of £1,000.

The stand is 104cm high.

Earlier in the sale, Lot 120 consists of  a late 19th Century pair  of Meissen porcelain male Golden Orioles for which the guide price is £500 to £700.

The sale is being held at the Leyburn Auction Centre at 11am on July 11.
