ONE lucky fan could soon get their hands
on Rod Stewart’s... stuffed fox.
The taxidermy ornament is among
bizarre objects and garish furniture the
rocker, 74, is flogging after having a
clear-out at his home.
Rod, who is thought to be worth
£180million, is offering 20 items with a
£37,000 reserve price.
Other lots include a stuffed gannet,
several clocks, a striped armchair and a
marble-topped gilt wood table.
The We Are Sailing singer and wife
Penny Lancaster, 48, had a first thin-out
sale last year after quitting their Epping
home and moving near Harlow in Essex.
It was handled by Stansted-based
Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers, who will
now be putting the 20 new lots under the
hammer next month.
The firm’s John Black said: “Last year
he sold some other items with us
because he was selling his house in
Essex. He’s just having a clear-out.
“Last year it went crazy, we had a lot
of interest. It was unbelievable.”
