High-priced luxury handbags and other luxury goods made the most money at Tennants (20% buyer’s premium) sale of Costume, Accessories and Textiles at Leyburn but collectors’ interest was more focused on a private collection of hat pins.

Topping the single items was a rare Royal Doulton Kingsware pin featuring a portrait of a cavalier on a silver mount stamped B & Co Birmingham, 1907, which trebled top hopes at £480.

The collection, sold on November 24, was offered in 19 lots, often multiples, and tripled pre-sale hopes to take £4550.
