Auction: Country House Sale, 14th Sep, 2024

The September Country House Sale will include a number of private collections, including The Collection of the Late Captain Edward Cazenove (1923-2000).

The Collection of the Late Captain Edward Cazenove

Devoted hunter and art collector Captain Edward "Teddy" Cazenove was born on 11 June 1923. He was brought up by his New York-born mother, Edith, at the family house of Cottesbrooke in Northamptonshire. Cazenove was educated at Eton and Oxford, where he took every chance he could to hunt.

Shortly after graduating from Oxford, he joined the Army and served diligently throughout the Second World War. He was taken prisoner in France in 1944 and was wounded attempting to escape. After the war, instead of following in his father's footsteps and joining the family firm of stockbrokers, which had been established from the 1820s, Cazenove chose to do what he loved best. He settled in Pytchley, Northamptonshire, to hunt. Highly skilled and consistently enthusiastic, Cazenove became Master of hunts in England, Scotland and Ireland. He died aged 77 in 2000.

The sale will also include a Private Collection of Works by Fred Lawson and a Private Collection of Works by William Miller Frazer.
