England’s Art Treasures
When the London art sale season closed in July it proved to have been the most remarkable in the history of art collecting. More than £3,000,000 has been spent in the principal West End sale rooms. Queen Anne, walnut and Georgian mahogany-furniture, old silver, books and manuscripts, engravings, pictures and old china, have all made prices undreamt of five years ago.
Nearly all the four-figure items go to America. English collectors arc now’ ready to spend hundreds, but it is the Americans w r ho spend the thousands.
