Spetchley treasures sell for £0.5 million at Chorley's
With a packed saleroom and 1500 bidders online, the auction lasted over 9 hours as collectors from around the world jostled for items from the cellars and attics of the Berkeley family.
Proper country house clear-outs are a rare thing these days and are eagerly anticipated by both private and trade buyers.

Offered alongside a selection of other properties, including paintings from Little Sodbury Manor, the sale attracted worldwide interest.
