LONDON.- The Collection of Mrs Henry Ford II – Eaton Square and Turville Grange was held at Christie’s London today and realised £3,988,938. The sale was 96% sold by lot and 93% sold by value, with participation across 6 continents and 35 countries. The sale comprised 320 lots with estimates ranging from £500 to £300,000. The auction contained a broad spectrum of decorative and fine arts from Mrs. Henry Ford II’s two UK properties, Eaton Square, London and her country home Turville Grange, in Buckinghamshire. The London sale was led by a John Duncan Ferguson (1874 – 1961), The Chinese Coat (estimate £150,000-250,000), realised £412,500.

Adrian Hume Sayer, Director, Private & Iconic Collections London comments, ‘Christie’s were honored to be entrusted with The Collection of Mrs Henry Ford II - both in the UK and USA - and were delighted to once again be able to welcome our clients to view the collection in person following the lifting of covid restrictions earlier this week. The strong results of the London leg of the collection – from Mrs. Ford’s Eaton Square and Turville Grange homes – continued the momentum established by the successful New York sales. The immense interest shown from around the world is a testament to Mr & Mrs Ford’s taste and demonstrates the continued robust appetite for interesting works of art in good condition with a compelling story.’
