OTSA 77 THE PETER GREENHILL COLLECTION

The Lifetime Collection of Peter Greenhill will be auctioned on Thursday evening, November 17th, 2022 at 5pm Eastern. Peter Greenhill was a pillar of the heraldic knight hobby. He died December 27, 2021 in Bournemouth, England. After service in the British military, he became a fashion photographer, owner of a toy shop (Thingumummies) and figure maker. Peter originally started collecting Richard Courtenay figures and then obtained Courtenays molds in the early 1970s. Courtenay, of course, is the watershed figure in the hobby (together with Roger Berdou and Josephine DesFontaines). Courtenay changed the underpinnings of the hobby from toys to art. Courtenay was first succeeded by Freddy Ping and then Peter with his iconic Courtenay/ Greenhills. Peter was not an inheritor but a master craftsman in his own right. He made his figures out of pewter, a material which holds paint far longer than lead. A Peter Greenhill from 1970s looks as bright today as when it was first painted. Peter refigured many of Courtenays original molds into unusual poses which have kept collectors guessing where various parts came from and where they went. He knew and recorded all of the great feudal houses and knights of the 100 Years War. Peters important books are Creating Miniature Knights, Heraldic Miniature Knights, and Heraldic Sketch Book. Peters personality was engaging, and he had a wonderful dry sense of humor and an infectious laugh. His creations are greatly admired by collectors as shown by his prices over the years. His books shall remain important references and Peters figures will be prized for many years to come. Questions? Call 412-343-8733 Happy Bidding! :D
