Brian, I have found out why you can't find the bobbins on the Sotheby's web site. You won't. Yes they are being sold at Sotheby's but the company that is putting them up for sale, plus lots of other bobbins, lace is
Kerry Taylor Auction House It has taken me a little while to find out what is happening. There is an auction on the 15th & 16th, the bobbins are up for sale on the 16th December. There is a catalogue, that will be on sale the middle of next month, cost 10 pounds, the catalogue is being printed right now, yes you will see pictures of the bobbins. You can view all that is up for auction on the Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday before the auction, which is at Old Bond Street. You will be able to view information about the bobbins and lace which is being auctioned from the middle of November at wwww.antiques.trade.gazette.com I am not sure if there are full stops between the words as I took all this information over the phone. I must admit I am tempted to go and look at what is up for auction. Hope this helps Brian.
