One of a pair of George II walnut library armchairs – £35,000 for both.
Gold and enamel German presentation box – £6500 at Holloway’s.
Dwarfed as they were by the £440,000 oil of St John the Evangelist (see ATG last week, No 2332), a number of other lots helped to make Holloway’s (20% buyer’s premium) first major sale of the year in Banbury on February 27 an event to remember.
