The final total for the auction, which took place on 09 December 2021, was £2.3milion*. It was a fitting end to a year of record sales with our in-person and live online auctions in Edinburgh and London.
Nick Curnow, our Head of Fine Art said: “Peploe's 'Roses and Fruit' is a remarkable painting and we are, of course, delighted with the sum achieved in this anniversary year which marks 150 years since the artist’s birth. The auction as a whole did extremely well and is a fantastic outcome as 2021 draws to a close."
