It's always nice to see Market Harborough make the headlines. And hello to Gilding's, our local auctioneers.A forgotten masterpiece may have surfaced at a Leicestershire auction house after being mistaken for a copy.
Gilding's of Market Harborough described the painting of a black clad man as "18th century continental school" with an estimate of £300-£500.
But on the day a bidding war pushed the price to £205,000.
The buyer is believed to be from the London art trade and the picture is suspected of being by 16th Century artist Titian and worth upwards of £5m.
