The prestige Furniture & Works of Art sales on July 9th and 10th fetched over €2.6M, with 80% of the 400 items in the catalogue sold. The Regence-period bureau plat attributed to Charles Cressent reached €177,120, doubling its estimate, alongside several notable collections.

A royal commode from the Transitional period, part of the former Rythmann collection, sold for €124,640 in the benefit of the Fondation 30 Millions d'Amis. A set of Belgian silver belonging to Philippe, Prince of Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha and Count of Flanders, sold for €124,378, while a lyre mantel-clock from the late Louis XVI and early Revolutionary period sold for €55,104.

A pair of Louis XV-period sconces of exceptional quality and chasing, very rare on the market, also won over collectors at €52,480, while Russian silverware achieved a very fine result with a Fabergé vermeil cup and saucer that beat its estimate eightfold at €31,488.  

Following the success of these prestige sales, we will be back for our next auctions, which will be held online at the end of September and in Paris on December 17th and 18th.
