Description
We are interested in finding out any information on this tea service & about the Brennan Sterling Company. We know that Bill was the designer of the Enchanting Orchid pattern, for Westmorland & later president of the company.
The set is a one of a kind! No others are available. I know that without more pictures & complete listing of items in the set it is imposable to put a dollar amount on, but we were curious to see what kind of a market is out there for this type of set. I have heard that Brennen Sterling has been offered millions, for the set we have, by collectors around the world. We have been in touch with the auction houses, Sotheby's, etc. but we would like to know what to expect, as far a a price ranges, commissions, etc when talking to them further. That is where this inquiry comes in. Just to mention a couple of item, there is a 30" tray, tea, coffee & coco pots, sugar & creamer, tea bag holders, spoon rests, many sizes if spoons, cinnamon shakers & candelabras. Any information into WL Brennan Sterling, pricing, auction houses & history would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much, in advance, for everyones help & information! Best regards, Sharkley
