AN OUTSTANDING COLLECTION OF SEALED, DATED AND OTHER RARE BOTTLES
The property of a distinguished member of the wine trade
Several generations of both branches of the owner's family, both prominent in the British wine trade, have amassed wine and spirit bottles, and, over the years, have jointly contributed to the collection on offer. The original display plaque, bearing the collection number and brief description is included with the appropriate lot. The plaque number is in brackets. In some instances the plaque and lot description do not tally in which case Christie's glass and wine expert's descriptions can be taken as the more accurate
A sealed armorial bottle, Bruce Arms for Robert Bruce, 2nd Earl of Elgin and 1st Earl of Ailesbury, late 17th century, (chip to seal and rim) (No.52) 5½in. high
