Only Fools and Horses Cocktail Bar Fetches £22,720 at Online Sale

Documented provenance sparked an online bidding surge far beyond the £500–£600 estimate.

Overview

  • The wraparound bar from the Trotters' flat sold on 25 September in a closed, online-only auction run by Fieldings in Stourbridge, West Midlands.
  • More than 200 bidders drove the price to £22,720, vastly exceeding the guide of £500–£600.
  • Fieldings co-director Will Farmer credited nostalgia for the result, noting the piece would be worth a fraction without its TV connection.
  • The lot included a handwritten receipt dated 19 January 1992 from the show's prop coordinator, naming J. Williams and S. P. Haberfield as parties to the sale.
  • The buyer is a private individual who has paid and arranged prompt collection, with some reports putting the fees-inclusive total at £27,720.
