Chorley’s Auctioneers are delighted to announce the appointment of fine art expert Sophie Law as their new regional representative for Oxfordshire and the North Cotswolds.
Sophie joins Chorley’s after 20 years working at London’s leading salerooms, where she ultimately headed up a Russian Department and became a UK Board Director.
During her career in London, Sophie oversaw the sale of many million-pound lots and in 2013 was responsible for selling the painting 'Madonna Laboris' by Nikolai Roerich for £7.9 million, setting a world record for the artist and for the most expensive Russian painting ever sold at the time.
As well as her saleroom experience, Sophie has lectured widely on the art market and is a published author of a work on Fabergé, ‘Olga’s Egg’ published 2018. She is a proficient multi-linguist, including speaking Russian and French.
Chorley’s, has seen a large increase in turnover over the past two years and cemented their position as the Cotswold’s leading fine art auctioneers.
“Sophie has extensive experience as a business getter, valuer and relationship manager and we’re delighted to welcome her to the team.
Her business development experience will be invaluable as we plan Chorley’s strategic growth over the coming years,
particularly as we expand to cover a wider area and increase the already considerable number of consignments from Oxfordshire.”
