MYSTERY ITEM IS IDENTIFIED BY AUCTIONEER

- By JOSEPH RICHARDS

A GEORGIAN silver wine funnel is set to go under the hammer at an auction house in South Derbyshire.

The curious silver object, dated to 1808, is a once-common household item with both practical use and historic charm.

It is estimated to fetch between £200 and £300 in Etwall-based Hansons Auctioneers' forthcoming Summer Fine Art Auction, taking place this June.

Recently discovered tucked away at the back of a cupboard in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire it was identified by auctioneer Charles Hanson as a wine funnel.

Charles said that the client - who wishes to remain anonymous - was pleasantly surprised by the discovery, having not been entirely certain what the object was originally used for.
