Bonhams Skinner October Sales Results
Three major collections, comprising of about 300 lots of Wedgwood of all types and periods were sold via an online Bonhams Skinner auction on October 7th. The consignors were: Myra Karp (Seattle, Washington), Gary Kidwell (northern California) and David Clippert (Arkansas), and overall, the consensus is that many hammered at below current market value. Regrettably, once the sale is complete the Bonham’s website eliminates access to the original details such as estimates, sizes, and conditions. The prices of the highlighted items (several of which exceeded expectations) below reflect the buyer’s premium of 28%.
