While it may not have the same notoriety as Sotheby's and Christie's, Phillips is highly respected and revered and generally regarded as one of London's most prominent auction houses. Founded in 1796 by the flamboyant Harry Phillips, it has catered to some of the world's most notable dignitaries in its 200-odd year history, including Marie Antoinette, Beau Brummel and Napoleon. It merged with de Pury and Luxembourg and focuses on traditional sales such as paintings, furniture and coins, rather than vintage collectibles; but does, however, include antique toys, cars and the like in its lots at times. Call for viewing times.
