THE PRIVATE COLLECTION OF MISS JULIA LOWENTHAL SOLD ON BEHALF OF THE GUIDE DOGS FOR THE BLIND ASSOCIATION (LOTS 50-190) Julia Lowenthal was active as a dealer in English furniture from the 1950s until the 1970s, having inherited her business at 4 St. James's Street from her father, an expert in all types of glass pictures and prints. Robin Kern of Hotspur describes her taste as 'not unlike Norman Adams's, with everything pretty and elegant and all a good colour'. She exhibited on the balcony of the Grosvenor House Fair. Having now completely retired, she has given her collection for sale to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, a national charity founded in 1934 and today the largest breeder and trainer of working dogs in the world.
