In this episode, old master specialist, David Dallas looks at the December 2024 Old Master art sales in London which saw decent results despite fewer high-quality pieces and a smaller number of lots overall compared to previous years. While buyers seemed willing to pay strong prices for select works, particularly those by established names like Botticelli and van Dyck. The Sotheby's sale exceeded Christie's in total value, with a focus on notable pieces like a Botticelli Madonna and Child fetching £9.96 million. However, both houses experienced some unsold lots, highlighting the challenges facing the market. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
