Wikipedia, viewed 20 July 2023 (Phillips (auctioneers); founded in 1796 by Harry Phillips; on his death [in 1839], the business passed to his son William Augustus, who renamed it Phillips & Son [in 1872]; his son-in-law Frederick Neale joined in [1881] and the company became Phillips, Son & Neale (known as Phillips from the 1970s and usually referred to as Phillips, the Auctioneers); bought in 1999 by LVMH; UK operations were sold to Bonhams in 2001 and merged into that company; most of the rump of the business was closed but some smaller departments were acquired by Simon de Pury and Daniella Luxembourg)

Guardian [newspaper], 14 July 2001 (Auction houses Phillips and Bonhams plan to merge the bulk of their operations; the newly-created company will trade under the name Bonhams; Phillips, which has traded under the name Phillips, de Pury and Luxembourg since a merger earlier this year, is hiving off its most upmarket business; the new Phillips, de Pury and Luxembourg house will focus on the high end of the market from New York and one central London office)
