Sotheby’s London to sell royal and aristocratic heirlooms
On 23 January 2014, Sotheby’s London will present Of Royal and Noble Descent, a sale featuring royal and aristocratic heirlooms from important European dynasties.
The sale comprises a suitably eclectic collection of items says Heinrich Graf von Spreti, President Sotheby’s Germany: ‘Having survived through inheritance, these treasures from palaces and historic houses have never been seen by the general public and their appearance at auction offers a unique opportunity for discerning collectors to acquire them.’
