Commenting on the results, Joe Robinson, Head of House Sales and Private Collections, said, "We are proud of the results Dreweatts delivered for the Lindsay family. From the moment the sale was announced, it was clear that the collection resonated far beyond the traditional collecting community. The remarkable level of interest we witnessed, both at the exhibitions and from bidders around the world, reflected not only the quality and appeal of the objects offered but also the captivating story behind them.

Patrick and Lady Amabel assembled their collection over many decades with an instinctive eye, intellectual curiosity and a deep appreciation for beauty, history and craftsmanship. Their home was never a static showcase; it was a place where paintings, furniture, and objects were lived with, enjoyed and woven into the fabric of family life and entertaining.

What has been particularly gratifying is seeing collectors respond not simply to individual lots, but to the character and spirit of the collection as a whole. Competitive bidding across so many categories demonstrated a strong appetite for objects with provenance, personality and a genuine collecting narrative. The results are a testament to the enduring appeal of thoughtfully assembled collections and the continued strength of the market for exceptional works with distinguished histories."
