Bidspirit auction | A Collection of Framed Vintage


A Collection of Framed Vintage Automotive Prints, Etchings and a Weather Station - This collection of automobilia includes several framed decorative items and a wall-mounted weather station. The assortment features two silver-toned metal technical plates mounted on textured brown fabric within light wood frames: one depicts a 1928 Bugatti Type 43 with printed specifications detailing its eight-cylinder engine and suspension, and the other illustrates a 1908 Lanchester 20 HP, bearing the signature G. Deffroy in the lower right. Also included are two metal etchings: a copper-toned depiction of a 1914 Ford Model T Touring with text referencing the National Motor Museum Beaulieu, and a gold-toned etching of a 1924 Bullnose Morris in a landscape setting. A smaller copper-toned etching on a black ground shows an early open-top touring car. Two colour prints are present, depicting a green and white 1907 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost and a green 1910 Renault 20 CV town car. The lot is completed by a wall-mounted wooden-cased weather station featuring a circular barometer dial with atmospheric markings from Stormy to Very Dry, and a spirit thermometer with a metal scale showing both Fahrenheit (10 to 120) and Celsius (-10 to 50) increments.
