Powder Mills Hotel, a Grade II Listed four-star country house hotel, is set to undergo an extensive refurbishment. In anticipation of this change, the hotel is holding an unprecedented auction sale of its furniture, fixtures, and contents on November 5th, 2024, starting at 10 am. This two-day event, live from the hotel, provides an exciting opportunity for bidders to participate in person or online via webcast.
Nestled within approximately 80 acres of beautiful landscapes on the edge of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Powder Mills Hotel has a rich history. Originally built in the 18th century as a gunpowder owner’s residence, it features 48 elegantly appointed bedrooms and versatile function and event spaces. Constructed in 1676 by John Hammond, Powder Mill House exemplifies Georgian architecture and elegance.
The upcoming auction will showcase an array of remarkable items from the suites, guest bedrooms, and public areas, including the bar, restaurant, and outdoor spaces. Highlights include contemporary and antique luxury furniture, handcrafted pieces, art collections, and Colefax and Fowler drapery, as well as a Thames cruiser boat named Indulgence. This sale offers a unique opportunity to acquire everything from mirrors to sofas, tables, chairs, and lighting fixtures.
In line with the hotel owners’ commitment to sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, the auction aligns perfectly with their values. “We are pleased that this auction allows us to contribute to a circular economy by giving our furniture and fixtures a new lease of life,” say the owners.
Additionally, this auction solidifies Pro Auctions’ reputation as one of London’s premier auction houses, known for managing sales for esteemed establishments like The Savoy, The Dorchester, The Lanesborough, Mandarin Oriental, and Simpson’s in the Strand.
