Sally and Alasdair Neil MacDonell

Phil we paid well below what Felix did but it was a fair chunk of money. Condition is always a worry but the faults shown are restricted to one that needs a lot of work and 2 others that have very minor knocks (the catalogue was confusing in that regard). As they stand we are very happy to live with 12 of them unmolested by a restorers hand. The rest of the items by him and Sally went for silly money. In fact nearly everything we had marked and left a bid went way passed estimate. It was only these that approached a fair price by our standards. Very happy to get this masks at the price we paid even though to others it will seem high.

I guess when it comes to art like this sometimes you have to grab the opportunity or miss out. I doubt we will make much money anytime soon from these. But I am certain we won't lose and that was not the point. Most of these are for our family and will join the other things we think are special.
