NEW YORK, NY -- Furnishings for dining in the grand style achieved exceptional prices at Doyle’s October 18, 2023 auction of English & Continental Furniture, Silver & Decorative Arts. The sale showcased a broad selection of elegant furniture, Georgian silver, porcelain, mirrors, clocks, chandeliers, tapestries and rugs from distinguished estates and prominent collections.
