| A Chanel Classic bag was the star of the first day of Halls Fine Arts’ two-day bumper Christmas auction in Shrewsbury this week.
The designer medium double flap bag, purchased by the vendor from Callaghan’s of Shrewsbury, eclipsed its pre-sale estimate of £2,000 to £3,000 to sell for £3,700.
Other highlights included a pair of 9ct gold and enamel cufflinks, which were presented to Mr Albert George Hart by Queen Elizabeth II in 1961 to mark his service as head conductor on the Royal Train for nearly 20 years The cufflinks, together with a collection letters, photographs, a menu and newspaper cuttings, more than doubled their estimate to sell for £1,800.
