The withdrawal marks a rare setback for the firm, which typically handles valuable and sought-after lots. Buyers and collectors may now face uncertainty over alternative arrangements for the piece. Details on the reasons behind the cancellation remain unclear, though industry observers speculate over potential legal or ownership disputes.
