Page name
editI would propose to move this page to Country house contents auctions in the United Kingdom, as the houses listed are not all in England. Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 16:16, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Missing
edit- Duke of Marlborough's Sale - 1884-5
- Fonthill Sale - 1823 see William Thomas Beckford
An excellent source on earlier sales is:
- Reitlinger, Gerald; The Economics of Taste, Vol I: The Rise and Fall of Picture Prices 1760-1960, Barrie and Rockliffe, London, 1961
- and Vol II of 1963 (on Objets d'art). I think relatively few important earlier sales were held in the country though. Johnbod (talk) 05:01, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Interesting page. I have both the Mentmore and Easton Neston catalogues, and one or two minor houses' catalogues from the 1950s if anyone ever wants to expand this and needs a ref. Giacomo 21:50, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
