Lord John Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Any thoughts on lot 61 of the latest bromptons auction ? Sold previously(lot 56) in the october sale.. If my memory is correct, it went away for 17000 pounds, almost six times the low estimate, wich seemingly contradicts the predictions for a collapse in auction sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbow Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Yeah I watched some of the auctions crazy prices, some of the bows were going up to 8 times the estimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobsaunders Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Since many have misunderstood what I was trying to say in the other thread, I didn‘t predict a collapse in prices in the march sales, rather that the individual who paid 17,000 pounds for the violin you mention, will be biting himself in his arse come autumn when the virus dust has settled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord John Posted March 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 the usual : "an interesting violin, possibly italian". And bearing a manuscript label "Nicholas (sic) Bergonzi... Yet it had some interesting features, among them : decent varnish, squarish pins etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord John Posted March 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 And maybe a 5-layer purfling ? Yet the image is somewhat blurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
