Leo de Vroomen While designer Leo de Vroomen was born in the Netherlands, it is his Londonbased eponymous jewelry house for which he is best known. He qualified as a Master Goldsmith in Switzerland in 1965, before moving to the English capital to lecture at Central Saint Martins, the acclaimed art institute. It was through the school that he met his wife, Ginnie, herself a jewelry designer. Together, the couple have spent five decades creating bold and sculptural designs which famously combine enamel and precious and semi-precious stones, most notably gemstones and Tahitian and South Sea pearls. The House is credited with elevating enamel to the status of haute joaillerie. De Vroomen pieces are identifiable by their expressive forms and colorful compositions, understated placement of diamonds, and elegant repoussé gold work, which artfully blends matte and glossy gold. The House was the recipient of the prestigious Diamonds International Award for excellence in jewelry design twice: first in 1974, just seven years after the company was founded, and again in 1986. “My jewelry is for grownups. It’s not for the fainthearted,” Mr. de Vroomen was once quoted as saying. “To create something innovative, dynamic and beautiful without compromise is always challenging, but the real satisfaction comes from seeing it worn by the right woman with confidence and pleasure.”

hose lucky enough to have met Dorrance “Dodo” Hamilton all attest to her brilliance, kindness, and quiet devotion to the people, institutions and organizations that surrounded her. Mrs. Hamilton created a destiny of her own throughout her eighty-eight year life. A patroness whose interests were manifold, she committed herself to philanthropy and charity everywhere she lived, specifically in the Philadelphia area, where her presence still remains as prolific and widespread as the buildings and organizations that bear her name. A fervent horticulturist, Mrs. Hamilton particularly enjoyed participating in high-level floral championships. She won more than two thousand blue ribbons over the thirty years she competed at the world’s oldest and largest indoor flower show. Of all the flowers she collected and looked after, it is probably her orchids— especially her ‘Spread Eagle’ specimen—that remain in the forefront of everyone’s memory. Mrs. Hamilton also played a crucial role in the rehabilitation of the Blue Garden, an iconic landmark of both Newport’s and America’s cultural history, which she brought back to its original splendor by dint of sheer perseverance and bold conviction.

Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser. Upon request, Freeman’s will provide the purchaser with names of professional packers and shippers known to us.
Catalogue Descriptions All item descriptions, dimensions and estimates are provided for guidance only. It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect all lots prior to bidding to ensure that the condition is to their satisfaction. If potential buyers are unable to inspect lots in person, our specialists will be happy to prepare detailed Condition Reports on individual lots as quickly as possible.

Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you.

In writing Bid forms are available in the sale room and at the back of the catalogue.
