Some lots are accompanied by gemmological certificates which give an opinion on some or all of the gemstones included in that particular lot. These certificates may have been obtained by Woolley and Wallis or supplied by vendors. It is important to note that the content of these certificates is not guaranteed by Woolley and Wallis and we cannot be held responsible for any disagreement over the content of certificates after the sale, or for a retrospective change in opinion by the providers of any of the certificates.
Not all images are lifesized, and weights and measurements in the catalogue are approximate only. It is common practice for coloured stones including jade to be treated to enhance their appearance. This includes jade that has been bleached (usually in acid), polymer/resin filled or dyed, or a combination of any of these treatments. Prospective buyers should presume that all coloured stones sold by Woolley and Wallis have been treated unless stated to the contrary in the catalogue description. Please contact the department for more information regarding enhancement and treatment of coloured stones, and for condition reports which are available on single item lots.
Pearls known and guaranteed to be cultured or natural are described as such in the cataloguing. Where the origin of a pearl is unknown and not guaranteed, it is described simply as a ‘pearl’, and it will be specified in the cataloguing as untested. Pearls described in this way are guaranteed to be pearls and not simulants, but their origin is not guaranteed as either natural or cultured. Items described as ‘seed pearls’ have also not been tested and cannot be guaranteed as natural pearls.
Any dispute as to the authenticity of a lot, including signatures, age and condition, and as to the treatment of gemstones including pearls, synthetic diamonds and HPHT enhanced diamonds, must be brought to the attention of Woolley and Wallis within two weeks of the sale date. Woolley and Wallis do not guarantee the working order of mechanical movements at the point of sale and beyond.

Born Mary Robinson Boyer in Philadelphia in 1939, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Francis Boyer, her father was the Chairman of Smith Kline & French Laboratories, a pharmaceutical company. Educated at Vassar College and Columbia, she moved to New York and married the Chicago industrialist Michael Butler in 1957, a close friend and confidante of John F. Kennedy, and who later produced ‘Hair’ on Broadway. Robin was his second wife (there were to be three) and they lived together in an apartment on 3rd Avenue. Following their divorce a few years later she worked at Christian Dior in New York, handling public relations.
Her apartment was photographed for Vogue in May 1967, and in the accompanying article her skill at assembling and combining works of art was justly lauded. Very beautiful and incredibly glamourous, Robin was photographed by the leading photographers of the day including Horst P. Horst and Norman Parkinson. Robin joined Vogue as a fashion editor in 1968 and after moving to London about a year later she became the London Editor of Vogue. Shortly after, she became engaged to Rupert Hambro of the Hambro banking dynasty, who she later married. The couple set up a home in London curating an ex
tensive collection of furniture, paintings, objects and Robin’s jewellery.

In September 1971, Andrew Grima launched Rock Revival, an exhibition of 100 new designs built around extraordinary specimens of uncut minerals, at his boutique on Jermyn Street in London. Invites to the exhibition played on the ‘Rock’ theme, and came in the shape of vinyl records, with a stick of rock candy reading Rock Revival through the cross section. The exhibition was a hit, with buyers including the sculptor Barbara Hepworth, and the intended transfer of the exhibition to Australia was delayed because it sold out so rapidly. Grima’s imagination had clearly been captured, however at short notice he flew to Zurich to source more stones for this Australian leg of the tour, and reportedly designed another entirely new collection at the buffet in Zurich airport, before flying back to London. The bold design of this brooch and its incorporation of such an impressive slice of watermelon tourmaline (which often appears in Grima’s jewels), combined with the 1971 date, suggests that this astonishing jewel was made in conjunction with this seminal exhibition, which marked a creative zenith in Grima’s extraordinary career.

£3,0005,000
It is possible that these rings were made around 1785 or shortly after, possibly as a diplomatic or personal gift, as the young prince can be seen wearing the Order of the Golden Fleece, bestowed upon him on the occasion of his marriage into the Spanish royal family that year, to the Infanta Carlota Joaquina of Spain. The two figures also wear the early green and red sash of the Three Military Orders, the design of which was changed in 1796. In 1788, Dom João’s older brother Dom José died of smallpox, and Dom João became heir to the Portuguese throne. He took over from his mother as regent in 1799, and succeeded to the throne in 1816. The portrait of the Dom João is possibly an embellished version of a painting by Giuseppe Troni, a copy of which can be seen in the British Royal Collection, ref. RCIN 406047, and the portrait of Queen Maria is based on a painted likeness of her dated to circa 1785/6, reproduced by the engraver Gaspar Fróis Machado, a copy of which can be see in the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, ref. E. 236 A.

Cf.: a portrait miniature in the Royal Collection, RCIN 420113, for an early example of this portrait by Bernard Lens III (16821740). It was reproduced many times by Lens on the order of his patron, the 4th Duke of Hamilton, who had discovered the original portrait and identified it as Mary, Queen of Scots a fashionable and romantic historical figure, viewed sympathetically among his contemporaries at the courts of Queen Anne and George I. The true identity of the figure, however, is unknown, and is more likely to be Mary Bellenden, later the Duchess of Argyll (c.16901735).

Oscar Heyman is often known as the 'Jeweller's Jeweller', because the firm has quietly produced some of the most extraordinary American jewels of the 20th century, for some of the most famous jewellery houses. Oscar and his brother Nathan initially trained in their uncle's workshop in Karkhiv, Ukraine, which produced jewels for firms such as Fabergé. Becoming proficient in the use of platinum (which was a recent innovation), the brothers emigrated to America in 1906. They were employed by Pierre Cartier, who was establishing Cartier's New York branch at the time, before founding their eponymous firm in 1912. Heyman Brothers was renowned for their superb craftsmanship, and Heyman jewels can be found signed by jewellers such as Tiffany & Co., Black, Starr & Frost, and Marcus & Co. Perhaps their most fruitful collaboration came in 1939 with Van Cleef & Arpels, who were looking for a jeweller who could handle the technical demands of manufacturing their signature serti mysterieux jewels in America. This technique required stones to be specially cut for complete tesselation, and then specially incised once cut, allowing them to be slotted into metalwork grids, resulting a glittering, seamless surface of coloured gems with no visible settings. Oscar Heyman Brothers mastered this technique to the extent that it then became one of their own signature designs. The present lot showcases their command of this famously difficult technique, with the additional complication of setting the rubies across a curved surface, threaded with lines of brilliantcut diamonds to give an illusion of cushioned fabric. Oscar Heyman Brothers still produces jewels of superb quality, and are now in their third generation of family ownership.

1097 Attributed to Maynier et Pinçon, a fine Art Deco multigemset and enamel brooch, circa 1925, designed as a spray of flowers, leaves and berries, within a scalloped circular frame on a horizontal bar, set with circularcut diamonds, outlined in black enamel, and accented with cabochon rubies, sapphires and emeralds, mounted in platinum, length 6.5cm, French assay mark for platinum, partial French maker's marks for Maynier et Pinçon, case £20,00030,000
Maynier et Pinçon were based at 10, Rue Castiglione in Paris, and were one of the capital's most prestigious jewellery workshops. Later known as the training ground of the jeweller Pierre Sterlé, jewels made by Maynier et Pinçon appeared in the cabinets of Boucheron, Linzeler et Marchak and Marzo at the seminal 'Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes', which took place in Paris in 1925. The abbreviation of the fair's rather long title gave its name to the bold new aesthetic that was reflected in the jewels and objects exhibited there, as well as their architectural surroundings 'Art Deco'.
Though it is widely reported that Maynier et Pinçon produced important jewels for these famed jewellery houses in the mid 1920s, documented examples of the workshop's jewels are extremely scarce, making this extraordinary jewel an exciting rediscovery from one of the unsung heroes of Art Deco jewellery, made at one of the great turning points in jewellery design history.
The combination of carved or cabochon rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds with accents of black enamel was a defining 'Art Deco' jewellery design aesthetic of the mid 1920s, and can be seen in designs by Cartier, Lacloche Frères, Mauboussin, Boucheron and Marzo, often used for stylised, geometric depictions of flowers and birds.
Cf.: Pierre Contreau et al., Le Grand Négoce, organe du commerce de luxe français: Exposition des arts décoratifs 1925, Paris, 1925, pages 11, 19, 29 and 35, for stylised floral jewels of comparable style and technique exhibited at the 1925 fair by Mauboussin, Boucheron, Lacloche and Marzo.
Cf.: Laurence Mouillefarine and Véronique Ristelheuber, Lacloche Joaillers, Paris, 2019, p.1689 and 183 for additional mid 1920s jewels by Lacloche of comparable design, and p.265 for a later platinum, ruby and diamond bracelet later made by Maynier et Pinçon for Jacques Lacloche in 1938.

VAT
Lots marked with an dagger (†) are subject to VAT on the hammer price. Lots marked with an omega (Ω) have been temporarily imported from outside the EU and are subject to VAT at 5% on the hammer price and the buyer’s premium. In online catalogues, the Sales Tax % column indicates the rate of VAT on hammer price.
Please note that lots marked λ may be subject to CITES Regulations when exported.
The CITES Regulations may be found at www.defra.gov.uk/ahvlaen/importsexports/cites/
Lots marked with a Φ symbol are potentially subject to a levy.
Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death.
Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to lots selling below the sterling equivalent of €1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is the sterling equivalent of €10,000.
Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency.

Lots marked Ƒ in the catalogue, or by any other means identified as controlled firearms, are subject to the UK firearms/shotgun licencing regime, and should only be viewed/purchased by individuals with appropriate licences. It is the responsibility of the bidders to ensure that they are legally authorised to acquire the lot that they are bidding for. In the event that such a lot is successfully bid for by an individual who is not authorised to possess it, that individual will be required to pay for it, but will not be allowed to take physical possession of it. The auctioneers will reoffer the lot on behalf of the buyer in a future auction; or may accept instructions to dispose of it by some other legal means, at their discretion.
1 . Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.
2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.
3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.
4. The purchase price. The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 26% plus VAT @20% (totalling 31.2% inclusive) on the first £500,000 and 20% plus VAT @20% (24%) inclusive thereafter.
5. VAT. (†) indicates that VAT at the current standard rate is payable by the purchaser on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The omega symbol (Ω) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.
6. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).
7. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first.
8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required for the goods to leave the U.K. and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing the goods in question into the destination country because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Charges may be applicable for export licences. Ask us if you need help. The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment.
9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification will be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.
10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone.
11. Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged.
12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges.
1. Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the Seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers.
2. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates: 15% + VAT on each lot sold for up to £999, 10% + VAT on each lot realising £1,000 and above.
3. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room by any stated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely your responsibility.
4. Loss and damage waiver. We are not regulated by the FSA for the provision of insurance to clients. However, we for our own protection assume liability for property consigned to us at lower presale estimate. To justify accepting liability, we make a charge of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT or, if unsold, our mid estimate of the hammer price. If the owner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, they then remain at owner’s risk unless and until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner, and clause 4 is inapplicable.
5. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the lot should be illustrated your permission will usually be asked first. The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us, the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue.
6. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods may be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7.
7. We may sell lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us ‘discretion’ we may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve.
Reserves.
(a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and insurance charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment).
(b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent.
(c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally.
8. Electrical items. These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.
9. Soft furnishings. The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. The rights of disposal referred to in clause 8 and 9 are subject to the provisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request.
10. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds. The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you are acting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery but we are or ought to have been aware of it.
11. Unsold and withdrawn items. If an item is unsold it may with your consent be reoffered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We reserve the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate.
12. Withdrawn and bought in items. These are liable to incur a charge of up to 10% plus VAT of the reserve or low estimate on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued.
13. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditions of Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking.
14. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain premium and interest.
(a) You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and all expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement.
(b) You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business on the day of the sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these terms apply.
15. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimum warehousing charge of £2 per lot per day. Unsold lots are subject to the same charges if you do not remove them within a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within three weeks we reserve the right to sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at your expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal.
16. Settlement. Subject to our normal trading conditions, payment will be made by BACS or cheque 5 weeks after the sale unless the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 10 above. You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale until the expiry of 28 days from the date of sale.

Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition, we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable.

The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.
13. TERMS OF SALE
The seller acknowledges that lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the lot.
14. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION
(a) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 ‘information to buyers’.
(b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.
15. FORGERIES
Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.
GENERAL
16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.
17. (a) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.
(b) Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them.
18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.
19. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the catalogue.
20. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.
21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
22. Prior written consent must be sought by the buyer or any other party for the use of any images, illustrations and written materials produced by or for Woolley & Wallis relating to a lot or sale, including the contents of a catalogue.

Any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age, provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact. The Company reserves the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expect or authority considered by them to be reliable.

Valuations are a core part of our business and are usually carried out by a senior specialist or directors. Accuracy, speed and above all confidentiality are paramount.
Written valuations for insurance can vary from a single item to a large estate. Before starting we discuss the various options available so that the valuation is specifically tailored to individual client’s needs. For valuations of an entire house contents an itemised bound valuation is produced and can be accompanied by photographs when required. In addition to providing an inventory, written valuations can prevent painful arguments with a loss adjuster in the event of a claim.
Woolley & Wallis valuations are accepted by all leading insurance companies.
We offer a speedy and professional service for executors and trustees and provide bound valuations for probate and duplicate copies when required. Since security is often a consideration, we can usually arrange for a house to be cleared and sent for auction, our Valuations Department ensures that executors are informed of which sales are involved and the results thereof.
We also carry out valuations for Family Division, Capital Gains Tax, and Private Treaty Sales.
