Two original paintings by Queen Victoria and a letter box once belonging to her Majesty were collectively sold for £34,000 at a Teddington auction over the weekend.

The royal items were part of an intriguing catalogue that featured at Hansons' Fine Art & Collectables Auction at Teddington's Normansfield Theatre on Saturday, January 28.

The two paintings by Queen Victoria depict vases of flowers. One features purple irises in a green vase with a posy of small flowers and other items placed in and around it. The second, shows a vibrant mix of pink, yellow, orange and white blooms in a blue vase resting on yellow fabric.

The seller, from London, said: "My grandfather collected amazing objects over the course of his life. He was fascinated by antiques and collectables. We think the post box may have been given as a festive gift as we found a Christmas card inside. It's hard to part with family heirlooms but this royal item deserves to be seen and enjoyed."

Both Queen Victoria's pantings and her wooden letter box were discovered by Hansons Auctioneers at a Surrey cottage, which was home to a stunning range of antiques that the organisation had been asked to value.
