This Stuart Devlin ‘partridge in a pear tree’ Twelve Years of Christmas Limited Edition Surprise parcel-gilt-silver box, hallmarked London 1970, is estimated at £400-600 at Catherine Southon’s auction on October 3.
In our recent silver feature (ATG No 2352) we wrote about how the death of designer Stuart Devlin earlier this year and a book he published just beforehand could lead to a reappraisal of his work.
When it comes to auctions, a very good market test is coming up soon.
