PLAINFIELD, N.H. — On January 8, William Smith Auctions celebrated Centuries Of Style with a more than 500-lot auction featuring Nineteenth and Twentieth Century decorative arts, artwork, silver, jewelry, furniture, Midcentury Modernism, music boxes and more from several Greenwich, Conn., and Sutton, N.H., estates. Achieving the highest price was “Third Lord Melchett and Derek Monde with the Coalworth Beagles,” an oil on canvas by Edward Seago (English, 1910-1974). Signed and dated “Edward Seago 37” to the lower left, the 51-by-70-inch framed painting had a label for a Royal Academy exhibition and provenance to an April 1999 Sotheby’s sale, during which it sold for $34,500. This time around, the boys and beagles barked to $18,750 with buyer’s premium ($15/30,000). Additional highlights from the sale to run in an upcoming issue.
