A collection of signed Salvador Dalí prints that spent 50 years gathering dust in a garage are set to fetch thousands at auction after being found during a clear-out.

The ten forgotten lithographs by the renowned Spanish surrealist were found in the garage of a house in Berkeley Square, Mayfair, London.

They were bought for £500 from an art gallery at a closing-down sale during the 1970s and could now fetch £5,000 when they go under the hammer next month.

The seller was having a clear-out while preparing to move house abroad when he discovered the 'treasure trove' of artwork recently.
