Samuel Leigh Sotheby, younger son of auctioneer Samuel Sotheby, was operating his auction house in the Strand, London as Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge in 1844.

He maintained his collections at Northwick Park, Middlesex and at Thirlestane House in Cheltenham; after his death in 1859, his heir sold the latter residence to the collector Sir Thomas Phillipps.
