DONCASTER, England – Wilkinsons Auctioneers will sell the Rintoul Collection on Sunday, April 28. The collection, which comes from a period house in Suffolk, ranges from court cupboards to a trio of stuffed toy foxes in riding clothes that were advertising figures.

Featured is a fine, highly carved oak court cupboard (below) dated 1675, which was previously owned by the British fashion designer Jasper Conran.
