Treasures Including Selected Works from the Collections of the Dukes of Northumberland

Starting today and  continuing until Autumn of this year, the Duke of Northumberland will be auctioning off 80 family heirlooms including furniture, antiquarian books, manuscripts, drawings, and examples of Nepalese, Persian and Mughal art. This evenings sale will include the highly sought after "Marble statue of Aphrodite" Roman Imperial early 1st Century. Rumored to bring in anywhere from £4-6 million.  

 Again This highly anticipated auction to be held in London will allow a host of collectors to further enhance their personal collections with some of these one of a kind masterpieces. The works of art for sale this eve all seem to have a special story, a unique reason for existing so to speak. Also the royalty of this collection sort of sets it apart even moreso than just a regular everyday sale so to speak. Rumor has it that the current Duke Of Northumberland is actually forced to sell the collection to repair flood damage to the estate. Yet no one really knows the motivation behind sale. In total 80 family Heirlooms will eventually be auctioned off via Sotheby's. The estate has planned to sell these items through a series of Sotheby's auctions to be held this Summer under the heading "British History Antiques"
