The “El-Helou Collection”, as Christie’s describes it, consists of four main groups: the piscatorial collection which includes antique tackle and reels, fishing pictures (a 1891 Millais watercolour of his daughter and her catch of 11 salmon, with a letter on the back detailing the day’s fishing, is expected to fetch over £2,000. She is also selling three Sir Edward Coley Burne Jones sketches); treen (the collective term for turned wooden domestic items); Arts and Crafts furniture, and Pre-Raphaelite art.
