In Ireland things tend to crop up. “That is an experience that I had personally and Sotheby’s has had over the last few decades” said Sotheby’s specialist Christopher Mason who will be in Dublin on February 4 and 5 to appraise European sculptures and works of art. Sculptures sourced in Ireland achieved strong results at Sotheby’s last year. A life sized masterpiece of a mother and child in terracotta by 19th century French artist Aime-Jules Dalou from Westport House sold for £362,500 and went to the National Gallery in Ottowa; a previously unrecorded marble bust of Homer by Francis Harwood from a private collection here made £242,500 and a late 12th/early 13th century Spanish-South French Corpus Christi from a Dublin private collection sold for £278,500 over a top estimate of £15,000.
