I don't think we will witness more than gradual price increases from prices we have seen in the past 6 months in the "normal" market, apart from some reality for the super rare pieces (which until now have been mostly privately sold with prices remaining private).

As DC says Arnos pieces have much hard work and no little provenance behind them, prices will and should reflect this hard work...and new buyers to the brand who have no interest in trawling Ebay or forums will rightly pay strong money for this.

: So is this an eBay bargain or is the Bonham's estimate somewhat
: optimistic (or could the difference in condition / mystique /
: provenance explain this considerable differential)?
