£207,000 FOR A DINNER SERVICE.—Sotheby's auction rooms, London, on June 16 kept their reputation as the place where the biggest prices are paid with the sale of a dinner service, part of which is on view, for £207,000. The service, which came from Berkeley Castle, was made in 1736, and is believed to be the only example of a Louis XV silver dinner service to have survived the French Revolution. It was bought by the London dealers, Frank Partridge and Sons, after considerable bidding by Marcel Bissey, of Paris.
