John Stainton, Orlando Rock and Amelia Elborne, Specialists in charge of sale: “The sale of a Town House in Mayfair saw very competitive bidding from an international audience with eight of the top ten lots far exceeding their pre-sale high estimates, a pattern that was repeated throughout the sale. Strong prices were achieved for fabulous sporting pictures, English, European and Asian furniture and works of art from this widely admired private collection. A beautiful Chinese cloisonné moonflask sold for over three times the high estimate, whilst a German japanned mirror and a Regency bookcase sold for twice the high estimate. The Private Collection and Country House Sale Department look forward to the sale of Imperial Design: From Stockholm to St Petersburg on 25 November 2008.”
