Will Fisher sale at Christie's totals £4m mainly on fireplaces

By Thornton Kay

London South West UK - Official totals are not yet out for the single owner 477 lot sale of Will Fisher of Jamb at Christie's South Kensington on Thursday but we calculate that it made over £4m, a spectacular result which belied the £1m estimated sale total. Expert in charge Nic McElhatton was not available for comment last night. Will Fisher is relocating to a smaller premises in Pimlico. Of the 48 chimneypieces on offer the top lot was a verde antico and statuary marble George II c1755, the design attributed to Isaac Ware and possibly carved by James Richards, which sold for £181,250 (est £80,000 - £120,000). Several others sold for £30,000 to £60,000. A collection of over 20 marble fireplace tablets were on offer, of which the top lot of frolicking Bacchic putti was probably not even Georgian yet made a staggering fifty times estimate £49,250. Top firegrate was a late Victorian Thomas Elsley Georgian-style 30ins wide brass and iron firegrate which made £31,250 (est £1,200 - £1,800). A pair of Jamb's own reproduction copper and bronze mask lanterns made £31,250 a pair (est £7,000 - £10,000). A 1960s enamel sign for New of the World, 18ins by 66ins, made £2,000 (est £800). A six feet long lead lined pine double sink on frame made £4,750 (est £800). A stuffed Victorian chihuahua dog 11ins long in a case made £20,000 (est £500) and a bulldog nearly the same. A Regency mahogany sofa with shabby attached fabric made £30,000 (est £3,000 - £5,000). An early 20th century carved stone nude 26ins high figure circle of Mary Watson sold for £43,250 (est £5,000 - £8,000) and a marble bust of an unknown gentleman by Peter Turnerelli in 1816 made £27,500 (est £8,000 - £12,000).
