| The Stanley Smith Collection of Natural History Books | ||||||
 |
Timothy Sammons Fine Art Agents were instructed to carry out an independent report on the Stanley Smith Collection of Natural History Books and make recommendations as to whether the Collection should be held or sold. The report concluded that the market was right for such a collection to be sold, and that a sale by auction was the appropriate method of sale. |
|||||
A cohesive marketing strategy was developed with the auction house to reach new buyers world-wide beyond traditional book collectors. Exhibitions of items from the collection were held in Singapore, London and New York. |
 |
|||||
 |
The sale fetched £2,476,563 (US$4,137,346), including the Buyer's Premium, more than doubling the pre-sale estimates. |
