London, 12 May 2022 Sale Total: £4,495,176 / $5,480,519 / €5,249,467
Domenico Raimondo, Head of Design, Europe and Senior International Specialist, said, “This total of £4.5 million far exceeded the pre-sale estimate, and saw strong sell-through rates. Celebrating exceptional and rare material that has never appeared on the market before, this sale received widespread interest from collectors worldwide, a testament to the provenance and high quality craftmanship of the works offered. Led by Jean-Michel Frank’s Unique table lamp, a strong depth of bidding continued throughout the sale from 430 registered bidders from across 39 countries who were participating in the room, on the phone, and online. Further standout moments included world auction records achieved for Angelo Lelii, Barovier & Toso, and Elisabeth Joulia, among others. Our international team continue to carefully curate sales that celebrate and promote design in its many varied forms and we look forward to the Design sale in New York on 7 June.”
