Rothschild Sale Totals £85,231
Fillip To Art Collecting
In amassing a total of £85,231, the four day's dispersal of the pic- furniture, and the household goods tures, works of art. decorative
at the late Lord Rothschild's town mansion, 148, Piccadilly, surpassed the, most optimistic valuation, writes a Home correspondent.
I know that. Sotheby's, who con- ducted the" sale, did not expect it to realise more than £70,000, Mr. Victor Rothschild, to whom the collections passed by inheritance, is quite elated at the result.
Naturally, the dispersal continues
to be a lively topic of discussion in art and social circles. The pro- fessional dealers who have rich stocks of works of art feel that the sale has given à fillip to art collecting; and the sale will be re- membered always for the £17,500 bid for a picture by Pleter De Hooch on the first day.
