The gorgeous Chinese embroidered silk dragon robe depicted three four-clawed dragons with flaming pearls, amongst emblems of the Eight Buddhist Treasures, on a brown ground above wave patterns. The robe, likely dating to the Qing Dynasty, measured 55 inches in height. It came into the auction with a $1,500-$2,500 estimate, but its $16,577 finish made it the sale's runner-up top lot.

Top lot honors actually went to a lovely black 1997 Steinway Model M ebony baby grand piano with the maker's mark and serial number 548420 to the metal plate, having spade legs and accompanied by a Jansen black diamond tufted artist bench with Steinway & Sons logos. The piano cruised to $20,570.

The pair of Arthur Brett & Sons marble-top japanned black and gilt chinoiserie cabinets, which were apparently unmarked, featured a shaped top over two-door cabinets with foliate, rock and bird motif, raised on short cabriole legs with sabots. Each cabinet stood 33 inches tall by 37 ½ inches wide. The pre-sale estimate was $1,500-$2,500, but savvy bidders more than doubled that to $5,142.
