With people spending more time in their homes over the past year, how a home looks as well how it functions has become increasingly more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has had a profound impact on online auctions and online dealers in the art and collectables market, very strong price growth and demand for wide and diverse range of inventory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, we have presented below three different examples of original artworks about three different subjects that sold for well above pre-sale estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first example is this Floral artwork still life 40 x 49cm \u201cchrysanthemum blooms in a glass vase on a white cloth\u201d by Portrait artist Ernest Townsend (1880-1944).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lovely still life by Ernest Townsend who painted Winston Churchill and who is known for his Floral artwork in the style of French artist Henri Fantin-Latour, sold for \u00a34000 well above pre-sale estimate of \u00a3200-300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second is this framed hand coloured print by the caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, published by Thomas Tegg in October 1811. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The print depicts the famous bare knuckle bout between the English champion boxer Thomas Cribb and the African American boxer Tom Molineaux. The bout took place before a crowd of 15,000 at Thisselton Gap, Rutland in 1811. It sold for \u00a33200 well above pre-sale estimate of \u00a3200-300 [1] <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last example is an African wall art of an African tribal mask Ibibio mask (idiok ekpo) carved from wood, and 25cm in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mask has a stylised face painted in black with white painted teeth within its articulated jaw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mask is thought to be late 19th or early 20th century. It sold for \u00a330,000 well above its pre-sale estimate of \u00a3600-800 [2]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
