The 14 anchors under the hammer… And what they went for

Post Thumbnail

Fourteen lucky people went home last night with a very one-of-a-kind prize – a uniquely designed anchor.

Cancer support charity Friends of Anchor displayed 20 of the decorated sculptures across the north and the north-east to mark its 20th anniversary in July.

The initiative was part of its Dream Big campaign, aimed at raising £1million to help recruit staff for a world-class oncology research centre in Aberdeen.

They were auctioned off with around 150 influential north-east business leaders bidding for the anchors, which were hand painted by artists, at an event held at the Chester Hotel last night.

Here are a list of the anchors that went under the hammer – and how much they sold for.
