Object lessons: from a rare outing for an Old Testament Rembrandt to a Bernini double act


Pietro and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Autumn (1616), Fearless: The Collection of Hester Diamond, Sotheby’s, New York, 29 January. Estimate $8m-$12m
The late art dealer, collector and interior designer Hester Diamond may have been birdlike in stature but she made up for it with big, bold taste. Her Manhattan home mixed bright contemporary furniture by the likes of Marcel Wanders and Dror Benshetrit with Renaissance paintings, 16th-century limewood sculptures and rare minerals.

Some vintage bikes, like their four-wheeled brethren, do, of course, sell for eye-watering sums. Take, for instance, the 1936 Brough Superior 982C SS100 (pictured) that fetched £276,000 with Bonhams at Bicester Heritage in Oxfordshire last month. During the weekend-long sale, which raised £3m, two marque records for a Sunbeam and Norton F1 motorcycle were set. But on the whole, classic motorcycles tend to be a lot more affordable, which is ideal for collectors just getting started. There’s even a tax advantage. Like classic cars, they are considered to be “wasting assets” by the taxman, which exempts them from capital gains tax. And they also take up less space in the gara ....
