Earl sells out
The Earl of Rosebery, selling thousands of family treasures to meet his inheritance taxes, is likely to benefit by more than £4M from the sale. The third session at rambling Mentmore Towers, the Victorian estate where the Earl’s great-grandfather, Baron Meyer de Rothschild, amassed a fabulous collection from palaces around Europe, fetched £737.100. Auction sources estimated the Earl would be £6M richer by the time the sale ends on May 27. — London.
