Marcus Rädecke, Director of Furniture and Works of Art, Christie’s London: “The sale results demonstrate the continued allure of interesting, rare and beautiful objects as well as a growing focus on the condition of items. This was exemplified by the result achieved by the spectacularly well-preserved Gobelins tapestry (lot 8) that sold for £100,900. There was strong bidding particularly on the telephones and on Christie’s LIVE. We look forward to the upcoming sales of the season, ‘Taste of the Royal Court: Important French Furniture and Works of Art from a Private Collection’ as well as ‘The Exceptional Sale’, both to be held at Christie’s, King Street, on 9 July 2015.” |
