CHRISTlE'S.
The Aristoorst Among the Great Sales.
rooms Of London.


rooms Of London.
Christie's Is the aristocrat among
salesrooms. James Christie ID was a
scholar and an exquisite, and when he
died it was said Of him that he had
raised the business he followed to a
profession. The tradition has always
remained. Mr.. Woods, so well known
for years, had to perfection the grand
manner" and there has always been an
avoidance at Christie's Of the hyperbole
Of the auctoneer.
Charles Dickens treasures were
brought from Gadshill TO he sold with
In its walls. Here, too, in more recent
years was sold the Duke OF Cambridge 8
collection, and indeed the auctioneer at
Chrsties may be said to be the au.
thor Of the epllogues Of great men.
One Of the most amusing incidents
that ever happened at the King street
rooms concerned we'll known though
rather impecunious man about town
who had to buy wedding present and
thought he was getting tremendous
bargain when silver ornament was
knocked down to him for 80 shilllngs.
But he found to his horror that the bid.
ding was so much an ounce and that
the vase was appallingly heavy.
The first Duke Of Westminster was a
persistent habitue of Christie's, but rs
a matter Of fact it is generally the bat
tleground for the great dealers, the
Duveens. the Durlachers, the Colnq-
ghis and the Wertheimers, who raise"
ment Of the eyelid, always imperturba-
BILE, always unruffled
Christie's, too, has a steady follow
ing Of elderly ladies, who occupy the
same seats and with no intention to
buy make occasional bids, trembling
with fear until some one outbids them.
The Saturday sales have been popu-
lar with the professional and business
man with a few hundreds to spend and
with little leisure, and this class will
regret their disappearance.
The first large sale ut Christle's was
| that Of the Bernal collection in 1855,
the amount realized being f70,954. The
most sensational sale of all was that of
the Hamilton palace collection in 1882
For seventeen days the auctioneer was
engaged in knocking down articles of
art until grand total Of 1897 562 was
| realized.
From the sixties until the beginning
of the present century the following
notable auctions took place at Chris.
