Drambuie Part 1

Sale number: 136"It has raised the benchmark for prices for many Scottish artists." - The Daily TelegraphThe Scottish liqueur company Drambuie has a rich history that spans back more than 267 years to Bonnie Prince Charlie. Legend says the prince was aided by the chief of the Clan MacKinnon after he fell at Culloden, and, in thanks, the prince gave the gift of his liqueur recipe.The corporate collection of Scottish art from Drambuie, sold by Lyon &amp; Turnbull at auction in 2006, was one of the most important collections to hit the market in a generation. Before the sale, Freeman’s Vice President and Paintings specialist, Alasdair Nichol, commented; “The sale traces the complete history of Scottish art from Alexander Nasmyth and David Wilkie, showcasing the pace of artistic change from the ‘Glasgow Boys’ Hornel, Lavery and Melville, via ‘Scottish Colourists’, Peploe, Cadell and Hunter, to the intimate still lifes by post-war ‘Edinburgh School’ artists like Anne Redpath and William Gillies. It will also include a significant collection of Wemyss Ware, the distinctively decorated Scottish pottery, along with selected silver and furniture from Drambuie’s collection.”The collection was met with huge interest by collectors, and after touring to London, Hong Kong, and Philadelphia, the auction was 100% sold, broke 18 auction records and doubled pre-sale expectations.&nbsp;
