Rod Stewart flogs old furniture for £37k including stuffed fox in a glass case

Sir Rod Stewart has put a stuffed fox up for auction.

The bizarre item features among a series of clocks and a hoard of outlandish furniture the singing superstar has put up for sale following a clear-out.

Sir Rod, 74, has put a total of 20 items up for sale, with a total reserved price tag of £37,000.

The singer , believed to be worth around £180 million, had a clear out after selling his Epping home last year.

Stansted-based Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers sold some of Sir Rod's furnishings at the time of the move .

The auction house has now been tasked with a second wave of clearance from Sir Rod and his wife Penny's new home near Harlow in Essex.

The stuffed and mounted fox, in a glass case, is estimated to fetch between £200 and £300 when it goes under the hammer next month.

A stuffed gannet is estimated to go for between £250 and £350.

But topping the price list of Sir Rod's cast-offs is a marble-topped gilt wood hall table with a tag of £4,000 to £6,000.

Also due to go under the hammer is a garish striped armchair thought to be worth as much as £1,500.

While it seems like he's trying to get shot of his small collection of birds, Sir Rod still maintains his tennis court sized model railway set - kept at his Los Angeles home.

John Black, of Sworders, said: "Last year at about this time he sold some other items with us because he was selling his house in Essex.

"This is what we have this time, more items from then. He's just having a clear out."

He added: "Last year it went crazy, we had a lot of interest. It was unbelievable."
