| Auction House | Christie's -- from catalog: Mr. Christie | | Sale Location | Premises, Chinkford Hall, Walthamstow, Essex, England, UK | | Seller(s) | Houghton, W.
from catalog: W. Houghton, Esq. at Chinkford Hall
from auctioneer's copy: [Same] | | Lugt Number | 6908 | | No. of Painting Lots | 25 | | Notes | This sale was devoted to the contents of Chingford Hall in Essex, the residence of the late W. Houghton, and consisted primarily of furniture, including a few paintings, as well as the livestock and a crop of hay. The descriptions of the paintings are brief and generic, with the exception of lot 22, which depicted the Dead Christ with the Virgin Mary and Saints, described as "a curious Specimen of the early Stile of Oil Painting." The prices were uniformly low, none exceeding £4, perhaps because the sale took place in the country, and all but four of the 25 lots were sold to a certain "Parker." (B.
