Sotheby's has pulled well ahead of its major art market rivals with its latest Sydney auction, which raised a total of $8.8 million.
One hundred and seventy six years after it was first presented, the historically significant Lonsdale Silver Presentation will be auctioned by Sotheby’s Australia on 24 October 2018 with a combined estimate of $625,000-1,025,000. Consigned by a fifth generation descendent of Captain William Lonsdale, the collection is a rare connection with Melbourne’s colonial foundation and its early citizens, and acknowledges the esteem that the public felt for one of its leading figures in its establishment as a colony separate from New South Wales.
