“It’s encouraging to watch the market admire lesser known makers like D’Espine. In a similar way, bidders  were also not shy with speculative lots, like those ascribed to Balestrieri, Gagliano and Testore, ” said Ethan Ladd, Executive Manager. “It’s a pleasure to work with bidders who find such value and depth beyond the obvious highlights.”
