MADAM – I was amused to read in the Previews section of ATG No 2285 that the “star” in Locke & England’s March 30 sale would be a large organ clock, estimated at £3000-5000 (lot 100). This is certainly not the case.
The highlight, I predict, will be the musical box by Lecoultre and Falconnet (lot 355), estimated at £5000-7000. This box will sell in excess of £10,000 and could make £30,000 with commission and so on.
The reasons this non-working musical box will sell for such a high price are simple.
