Princess Diana's Ford Escort sells at our recent auction for just over £52,000
Lady Diana Spencer was given the silver 1.6L Ghia saloon by the Prince of Wales as an engagement present in May 1981, two months before they were married in July 1981. With 83,000 miles on the clock, the Escort came with its original registration as well as its original paintwork and interior upholstery. There was much global interest in the car which is testament to Diana and her enduring legacy.
A portrait by Mary Beale of her son Bartholomew - Sold in our January Fine Art & Antiques Auction for £100,000.
Mary Beale was one of only a small number of female artists working professionally in London during her day. Born in Barrow, Suffolk, the daughter of a clergyman, she studied under the portraitist Sir Peter Lely and, as her reputation grew, by the 1670s her work was in considerable demand. After strenuous competition with the bidding lasting four minutes, it was eventually knocked down at £100,000 to a buyer on the-saleroom.com. The price represented a new high for the artist at auction.
