On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is a lot where Christie’s holds a direct financial guarantee interest.

This pair of Bufflehead ducks was a gift to Peggy and David Rockefeller from carver and decoy collector Donal C. O'Brien, Jr. O'Brien worked in the Rockefeller family office and oversaw the growth of David and Peggy's decoy collection. He chose to gift them Bufflehead ducks as they were Peggy's favorite birds because she had no trouble spotting them from a distance due to the white spot on the drake. This meaningful pair resided in Peggy and David's kitchen at Ringing Point.
