The Central News says—The furniture and effects of Mr Oscar Wilde were to-day sold by auction at 16 Tite street, Chelsea, the late
residence of Wilde. Messrs Bullock, of Holborn, were the auctioneers, and a considerable number of buyers were present, it being understood that some
valuable Moorish pottery and china would be included among the things offered for sale. The majority of the purchasers appeared to be dealers, but several
oil and water colour paintings were bought by private individuals. At one time during the auction considerable excitement prevailed owing to a dispute
between a dealer and some persons, who, he declared, were the friends of Wilde. The police were called in, and ultimately the disputants left the
building. Several of the books and oil paintings fetched good prices, more especially those offered at the commencement of the sale, but later on the
prices ruled low. A small water colour painting with a manuscript poem by Keats realised 33s, and a small pen-and-ink sketch by Whistler 22s. The chief
curio offered for sale was the writing desk of Thomas Carlyle, and this was sold for fourteen and a half guineas.
