Bonhams will offer some 800 lots from the inventory of legendary antique dealers Sampson and Horne next week in London.

Jonathan Horne and his late business partner Alistair Sampson were world-renowned for their cache of early British pottery and English country furniture.

Part of the sale is a collection of charming Staffordshire figures such as an exotic water buffalo with rider from 1760 estimated at £600-£800.
