M RS . HENR Y F O R D II

Christie’s is delighted to be entrusted with the sale of Important Jewels from the Estate of Mrs. Henry Ford II. Comprising over 80 lots between Magnificent and Online Jewels, the collection consists of unusual antique and vintage pieces together with standout examples of contemporary jewelry design by many of the world’s great jewelry houses including Boucheron, Cartier, Graff, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels and Verdura among others.

opposite:Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford II. Mrs. Ford wearing the bracelet from Lot 24.

Henry Ford II was an iconic figure in the automotive industry, having accomplished many important milestones for the Ford Motor company. Of all of Henry II’s accomplishments, perhaps his most well-known is the creation of the GT40, still today Ford’s supercar masterpiece and the winner of four consecutive wins at Le Mans in the late 1960’s, the journey of which is depicted in the 2019 feature film Ford v Ferrari. Married to the auto scion in 1980, Mrs. Ford soon found herself in the inner circles of high society, while maintaining her sense of fun and down to earth personality at the same time. The Fords maintained residences in Grosse Point

Farms, Palm Beach and London and remained happily married until Henry’s untimely death in 1987. The jewels of Mrs. Henry Ford II are above all else, both wearable and sophisticated at the same time. Daytime jewels in gold include iconic designs such as a Verdura Maltese Cross bracelet (Lot 34) and a set of ‘Dot Losange’ jewelry in green enamel from Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. (Lot 14), while more formal occasions called for proper diamond jewelry, such as the stunning necklace by Graff (Lot 19) and flower pendant earrings by Van Cleef & Arpels (Lot 15). Rounding out the collection are two examples of important antique jewelry, including a diamond rivière necklace (Lot 42) and classic brooch set with a cushion shaped Burmese ruby of 8.62 carats (Lot 43), which Mrs. Ford cleverly had a necklace mount made for so that the it could be worn during many occasions. Without question, these jewels, together with the fine and decorative art collection of Mrs. Henry Ford II reflect a woman of great style and impeccable taste in all things beautiful.

The firm Verger was founded in 1872 by Ferdinand Verger and his two sons, Georges and Henri, at Place des Victoires in Paris. In 1911, the firm changed its name to Verger Frères and moved to their new location at 51 rue Sainte-Anne, not far from Place Vendôme. Later, under the leadership of Georges and his sons, the firm became known as Georges Verger et Fils. Georges Verger et Fils was highly regarded for notable craftsmanship and became known as the ‘jeweler’s jeweler' supplying jewels to many of the leading houses, such as Lacloche, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Boucheron. In a break from tradition of the time, Verger did not create original pieces to sell to clients but instead sold their own designs to the various houses. The firm remained in the Verger family for decades until ultimately being acquired by Georges L'Enfant.

Madame Hélène Arpels Christie's, New York, 14 December, 2006, lot 322 LITERATURE:

Cf. E. Possémé, Van Cleef & Arpels: When Elegance Meets Art, Paris, Les Arts Décoratifs, 2018, p. 51 Cf. E. Possémé, Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art of High Jewelry, Paris, Les Arts Décoratifs, 2012, p. 51 Cf. M. Petit, Van Cleef & Arpels: Reflections of Eternity, Paris, Éditions Cercle d'Art, 2006, nos. 118 - 120 Cf. S. Raulet, Van Cleef & Arpels, Paris, Éditions du Regard, 1986, p. 128 Praised on both sides of the Atlantic as ‘the quintessence of French elegance’, Hélène Arpels was an ultra-chic and striking Parisian socialite. Born in Monte Carlo to Russian parents, Hélène Arpels née Ostrowska, was regarded as one of the most distinguished women in the world and a leader of Café Society in Paris. In the United States, she made headlines by gracing the world's ‘10 Best Dressed List’ first in 1949 and continued to do so for many years. She was a close confidante to many notable personalities,

including Rose Kennedy, Gloria Guinness and Princess Gabriela zu Leiningen, among many others. She was also a frequent guest of the White House during the Kennedy and Reagan administrations. In 1933 Hélène married Louis Arpels, the son of Estelle and Leon Arpels, a famous precious stone dealer in Paris. In 1906 Louis had left his father's company to join the family firm Van Cleef & Arpels, which had been founded by his mother Estelle and her cousin Alfred Van Cleef. Monsieur Louis, as he was generally referred to by his clientele, established the New York branch of the house in 1940. The couple’s move to America only increased Hélène Arpels’ social calendar, as she spent half her time in New York and half in Paris. Hélène Arpels was also famous for her unique way of wearing her exceptional jewelry, which consisted of quintessential pieces made by Van Cleef & Arpels. One of her many important pieces by the house was the ‘Cristaux de Neige’ clip-brooch. Designed as snowflake, the piece is an iconic design by Van Cleef & Arpels. This brooch, one of the largest known examples of a snowflake brooch, was likely a special order for Madame Arpels. Christie’s New York proudly offered this brooch from the collection of Hélène Arpels in December 2006, where it was purchased by the current owner.

103 ANTIQUE DIAMOND AND ENAMEL SARPECH The turban ornament set with variously-shaped table-cut diamonds, blue, green, white and red enamel on the reverse with plume holder, foil, gold on a lac core, 10â„Ś ins., mid to late-19th century $70,000-100,000 Sarpech is Hindi for 'head feather' but is generally known as a turban ornament. It was worn almost exclusively by the emperor, Indian princes and their immediate family. Considered the ultimate symbol of royalty and sometimes used as a reward for exceptional service to the emperor, it evolved from the tradition of pinning a heron's feather (kalgi) to the front of a turban. Even during the reign of Jahangir (1569-1627) a sarpech can be seen in most portraits when they were painted in miniature. During the reign of Shah Jahan (1592-1666), sarpechs became much more elaborate and began to be jewel encrusted. After Queen Victoria became Empress of India in 1857 no Indian Prince was supposed to wear a crown and perhaps this explains the emergence of highly elaborate and jeweled sarpechs with their own interpretation of royalty.

105 EMERALD AND GOLD SAUTOIR Hexagonal step-cut emerald of 172.41 carats, 18k gold, necklace 23 ins.

Although the Spanish controlled the great emerald mines of Colombia throughout the apogee of their production from the 16th to the 18th century, most of the output was exported to India to be used for jewels commissioned by the Royal families. When these stones appeared in western markets in the early 20th century, they became known as ‘Old Indian Material’. The ‘Indian’ character of this emerald is accentuated by its traditional taviz-cut, a flat hexagonal tablet form, often seen in Mughal jewels from the subcontinent. Taviz-cut stones were often drilled so that they could be worn free of any additional mounting.

Mary M. and Robert M. Montgomery, Jr., dedicated themselves to the arts, both in their private collecting and in their hometown community of Palm Beach. They remain widely recognized as deeply committed members of their community, as ardent lovers of the arts and as dedicated benefactors of culture. Beyond their own collection, which includes pieces from multiple artistic movements and collecting categories, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery maintained a passionate commitment to the thriving cultural scene of Palm Beach. They fostered an appreciation for theater and music as well as the visual arts, and the couple sought to support the local institutions that enabled wide access to these cultural tenants. An aficionado of the opera, Mr. Montgomery was Chairman of the Board of his cherished Palm Beach Opera for 25 years, and, throughout that time, he and Mrs. Montgomery generously contributed to its programming. Mr. Montgomery was also a principal benefactor of the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, an institution widely regarded as having changed the

cultural landscape of Palm Beach. Alongside their support of the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach, the Montgomerys founded the Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art. The couple created an enduring legacy, “a museum in [their] house,” curating a strong collection of fine and decorative arts, objects and jewellery. Christie’s is proud to offer their collection in a range of live and online sales during the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. Highlights will include the Montgomerys’ extensive Tiffany collection that features their Fruit ceiling fixture; Mrs. Montgomery’s favourite Pebble table lamp, constructed from pebbles that Louis Tiffany discovered on the shores of Long Island; and the iconic Wisteria and Laburnum lamps that showcase the full grandeur of Tiffany’s artistry in glass. Beyond lighting, the Collection includes a 13.63 carat rectangular-cut diamond ring, a Cartier ruby and diamond fringe necklace, extraordinary silver and strong examples of 20th century fine art.

J E A N H O WA R D Hollywood during the 1940s and 50s was a place of extravagant parties, fabulous style and fascinating personalities. Jean Howard, a former Ziegfeld girl and wife of producer Charles K. Feldman, was emblematic of the time. Born in Texas as Ernestine Hill, she danced and modeled as a teen. Ernestine's first big break was in 1930, when Samuel Goldwyn and Florenz Ziegfeld cast her in the film ‘Whoopee’ with Betty Grable and Paulette Goodard. She was chosen as one of four from the film to be a Ziegfeld Follies girl. Later, she was cast in Ziegfeld's ‘Follies’ on Broadway and he renamed her Jean Howard for the show. Jean and Charles had a loving marriage and threw large glamorous parties at their home, hosting stars such as Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Richard Burton, Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant, Vivian Leigh, and Mr. and Mrs. Cole Porter to name a few. Jean captured parties and trips with her camera and eventually published ‘Jean Howard's Hollywood: A Photo Memoir’ in 1989. The images included Hollywood

actresses talking with politicians and writers, musicians collaborating with directors, and conga lines ending in the pool. Of all their friends, Jean and Charles had a special relationship with the Porters. In 1991, Jean published a second book, ‘Travels with Cole Porter’ illustrating the two grand tours she took with Linda and Cole in more than 300 photographs. Ever the stylish starlet, Jean Howard was a regular patron of the firm of Verdura. Fulco di Verdura came to Hollywood in 1935 at the invitation of Cole Porter, who introduced his jeweler friend to Hollywood society. Porter was so supportive of Verdura, in addition to making valuable introductions, he later financed Verdura’s New York boutique. Stars and socialites, including Jean Howard, quickly embraced Verdura’s bold designs. Christie’s has had the privilege of offering jewels formerly from the Collection of Jean Howard in past sales and is honored to be offering this bracelet.

Cartier’s clientele, which included many Russians who maintained homes in Paris, were accustomed to the superb craftsmanship of Fabergé objects and expected the same from Parisian houses. Carved in agate, jade and other hardstones, these objects became popular gifts among high society and royalty.

In 1922 after years of excavation, archaeologist Howard Carter unearthed a sealed chamber in Egypt, filled with gold and riches. Weeks later in that same chamber, Carter would uncover the tomb of King Tutankhamun. This exciting discovery, in combination with the enduring impact of the 1911 Franco-Egyptian exhibition at the Louvre, sparked an intense fascination with Egyptian history and culture. ‘Egyptomania’ swept across Europe and permeated all areas of society, including art, architecture and fashion. Jewelry firms swiftly embraced this new obsession and produced designs inspired by Ancient Egyptian relics and motifs, and at times incorporated vestiges directly into their jewels. From scarabs to falcons and sphinxes to hieroglyphics, Cartier incorporated elements from Ancient Egypt into their designs and created some of the most sought-after jewels and jeweled objects during the 1920s and 1930s. The firm focused on a limited output of works – about 150 items total – that today, almost century later, continue to represent an undisputed height in the firm’s history. This silk evening bag by Cartier is a superb fusion of Art Deco and Ancient Egyptian themes. The black and white motif of the design and use of platinum is highly Art Deco, while the imagery depicted reflects symbols of the ancient civilization. Across the silk bag’s frame, stylized diamond lotus blossoms are set

against black enamel. The lotus blossom, Egypt’s national flower, is associated with rebirth, the sun god and creation. Lotus blossoms close at night and sink beneath the water they rest upon. At daybreak, they reopen, emulating the sun’s emergence and disappearance each day. Toward the edges of the frame on each side, taller flora is depicted, stretching upward toward the sky. These diamond-set motifs represent papyrus, another important symbol of Ancient Egypt. Associated with life and eternity, papyrus once grew in abundance along the Nile River Valley. With stalks up to sixteen feet high, the plant was thought to hold up the sky. In Ancient Egyptian art, Pharaohs were often shown hunting amongst papyrus fields, as a reflection of power, order and eternal life. Centering upon the clasp of the bag is an enamel and rose-cut diamond Pharaoh. The Pharaoh, or king, was believed to be the intermediary between the gods and mankind. Positioned below this figure is an inversely-set diamond which creates a triangular peak – a pyramid. This meticulously subtle nod to perhaps the most popular association with Ancient Egypt is purely Cartier. The diamond almost goes unnoticed amongst the scale of the evening bag and the accompanying motifs across the frame – and yet this minute detail is a striking reminder of why the house of Cartier is synonymous with master craftsmanship and superior design.

Kashmir sapphires are highly coveted for their brilliance and strong saturation of velvet blue, which is reminiscent of the color of a peacock’s neck. The discovery of Kashmir sapphires began in 1881, when a landslide in the Zanskar range of the northwestern Himalayas first revealed sapphire-bearing rocks. The majority of the world’s most beautiful and highest-valued sapphires were mined from the region, including the present stones. By 1887, Kashmir’s first sapphire mine had been exhausted and production ceased. As a result, gem-quality Kashmir sapphires are now extremely rare. Kashmir sapphires command a much higher price premium than all other sapphires, not only for their rarity, but also for their rich, velvety blue color that has a mesmerizing quality. This extraordinary Kashmir is exceedingly astonishing, not only for its exceptional color and transparency but for its prominent carat weight of 43.10 carats. Mounted at the center of a diamond bracelet, this cushion-shaped Kashmir sapphire rests upon a bed of impressively sized D color, Internally Flawless diamonds – a setting worthy of such a princely stone.

“For the aficionado of Kashmir material, this gemstone represents a superb example of why Kashmir has earned the status of being the source for sapphire that all others are compared.” -Christopher P. Smith, President American Gemological Laboratories LLC


“The natural sapphire of 43.10 ct […] possesses a richly saturated and homogeneous colour, combined with a high degree of transparency, and a finely proportioned cut. In addition, this remarkable gemstone has been spared thermal treatment. Such a combination of characteristics is rare in natural Kashmir sapphires of this size.” -Lidia Bellomo and Dr. Klaus Schollenbruch The Gübelin Gem Lab

“This sapphire […] contains tiny zircon inclusions near to the surface on which we were able to carry out radiometric age dating. The analyses of the zircon inclusions within this sapphire reveal an approximate age of 21 million years.” -Dr. M. S. Krzemnicki, FGA Director SSEF

The Collection of Mireille and James Lévy is a celebration of graceful and poetic forms. Their art collection spans the work of many of the twentieth century’s best known artists, from the Dadainspired forms of Jean (Hans) Arp to the Modernist renderings of the human body by Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. While much of the collection consists of three-dimensional works, the Lévys embraced all forms of artistic expression, and substantial canvases by Adolph Gottlieb and Morris Louis embraced the fluid two-dimensional forms of the Color Field painters. The couple also embraced contemporary art and collected works by major Pop Art artists such as Andy Warhol and Tom Wesselmann, who had abandoned the prevailing forms of abstraction to develop a groundbreaking form of figurative painting. Masterpieces of their collection will be offered for sale in New York in early December.

opposite: Mrs. Lévy and her husband James Lévy, surrounded by their art, in their New York apartment overlooking Central Park.

The sophistication and keen eye for design reflected in the Lévys’ art collection was also apparent in Mrs. Levy’s taste in jewelry. The couple refined their preference and palate for jewels through a combination of extensive travels, exposure to art and architecture and distinguished instinct drawn from their Egyptian roots and affinity for French culture. Over the course of several decades, the couple acquired jewels that Mrs. Lévy enjoyed wearing regularly – from galas

in New York, to weddings in Italy and alluring events in Monaco. Mrs. Lévy's collection showcases the best Maisons around the world, from David Webb and Harry Winston in New York, to Van Cleef & Arpels in Paris, as well as avant-garde pieces from Marina B. Mrs. Lévy's jewels demonstrate the strong taste and colorful character of this couple. In addition to the ever-iconic ‘Mysteryset’ jewelry by Van Cleef & Arpels, offered from Mrs. Lévy’s collection in November at Christie’s, Geneva, Mrs. Lévy also acquired a showstopping diamond and onyx panther suite by Cartier that she proudly wore – including a necklace, brooch, bracelet, pair of earrings and a ring (Lots 377 – 381). While building their remarkable collection, the couple also had a desire to share their love of art with a wider audience. They donated works from their art collection both to major international museum collections and lesser known European institutions; from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, to the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne, the Lévys’ generosity was transformational to these institutions’ collections. Now, their largesse continues, as the proceeds from the sale of these works will continue their legacy of extraordinary philanthropy.

‘As an admirer of Daniel’s work for nearly forty years, I am delighted that Christie’s will have the privilege of offering this important collection of objects. He continues to push the boundaries by working with innovative materials which culminate in objects and jewelry collected the world over.’ -François Curiel, Chairman Christie’s Europe


DA NIEL B R US H

Picasso. van Gogh. da Vinci. These are names that are instantly recognizable and familiar to the masses. Even without a deep understanding and appreciation of art, one can conjure an image of a painting by one of these masters. However, there are also artists who exist in more rarified circles. They may not be household names, but they are very well-known to and coveted by distinguished collectors. Daniel Brush is one of these artists. His limited production of works of art has captivated the privileged few collectors who are lucky enough to know about and own a Brush masterpiece. Brush’s works are collected by a coterie of connoisseurs who have the ability to collect any artist. They choose to collect Brush. Fortunately, exhibitions at the Smithsonian and the Museum of Art and Design have brought Brush into the consciousness of more art enthusiasts and the public at large. Over the past five decades, Brush has established himself as one of the most exclusive and innovative artists of our time. Without outside influences or consideration of the mainstream, Brush has produced a distinctly singular vision and entirely unique body of work. Brush has been celebrated and showcased in international exhibitions and solo retrospectives at leading institutions, including the Museum of Arts and Design, the Smithsonian and Van Cleef & Arpels’ L’École. Additionally, a substantial retrospective of his work is planned for 2021 in Hong Kong. Brush’s work in mixed metals is especially impressive as Brush alone purchases, melts and shapes the gold and other metals used for his pieces. He works in the traditional techniques of ancient goldsmiths and has never employed a workshop or assistants. The only help and support he receives comes from his wife and their son. Brush is also a master of granulation, as seen in Lot 206, which is considered the most complex goldsmithing technique. Notably, Brush skillfully combines mediums not traditionally used together. Lots 218 and 219 adeptly integrate pink diamonds, some of the rarest of colored diamonds, with light pink plastic. By working in a myriad of styles and mediums, Brush has challenged traditional labels and refused to be defined by a single discipline. His works have found homes in important public institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as notable private and royal collections. Brush has received critical acclaim from jewelry historians, heritage jewelry firms, and members of all

aspects of the jewelry and artistic worlds. His works have been the focus of eight books printed by prestigious publishers including Abrams, Steidl, and Rizzoli. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1947, Brush’s fascination and appreciation of art was sparked at a young age. During a family trip to London, his mother took him to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Standing in the jewelry gallery of the museum, Brush knew jewels and precious objects would be his life’s calling. From that point onward, Brush would visit the Cleveland Museum of Art and sketch its collection, in addition to formal art classes. Daniel Brush studied Fine Art at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and later at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. Early in his career, Brush was an Art Professor at Georgetown University. While teaching, Brush continued to create unique objects and began exhibiting his work in museums and galleries in Washington D.C. Notably, at only 23 years old, Brush put on a sold-out exhibition at The Phillips Collection museum in Washington D.C. In 1978, Daniel and his wife Olivia moved to New York City, where they raised their son, Silla, and have remained since. Despite New York City’s intense focus on fame and celebrity, Brush continues to thrive creatively while maintaining his fiercely hermetic lifestyle. Brush has proven himself a master at maintaining a juxtaposition between living in the highly populated and social New York City and his own monk-like existence. Brush’s talent has never been confined to a single medium. This multidisciplinary artist has worked in drawings, paintings, and sculpture. His works are self-referential across mediums and often interconnected. Many of his works executed in steel, such as Lot 216 with its thousands of hand engraved lines, are evocative of his line drawings. Similarly, his line drawings, such as Lot 205, inspired future sculptures. Christie’s is pleased to present the following collection of jewelry and objects by one of the most important American contemporary artists. Lots 205 - 219 present a rare opportunity to possess a substantial and wide-reaching assemblage of Brush’s works. Without question, this highly individualistic artist, who produces all works with his own mind and hands, is one of the most celebrated and coveted makers in the world today.

DIAMOND, EMERALD, MALACHITE AND GOLD 'SERPENTI' WRISTWATCH, BULGARI

Circular-cut diamonds, gold, diameter 2ยบ ins., signed Graff

Circular-cut diamonds and emeralds, malachite plaques, textured 18k gold (Italian and Swiss marks), concealed dial, quartz movement, dial width 15.30 mm, dial and bracelet signed Bulgari, nos. SP 40 G, BT2, 'Fabrique en Suisse' (case back), brown Bulgari pouch $60,000-80,000

The serpent is a symbol of knowledge and eternity, and the motif has found its way into jewelry design since the Hellenistic period. Bulgari, always conscious of their ancient cultural heritage, drew from this tradition to create the first 'Serpenti' bracelet-watches during the late 1940s. Since then, the 'Serpenti' theme has crossed into all categories of jewels by Bulgari, and in a variety of creative iterations, including white, yellow and pink gold, steel, colored gemstones, diamonds and enamel.

Born Nina Renshaw in 1954, Nina Griscom, as she was known, was a model, a muse and a friend to many. The daughter of Elizabeth F. Rohatyn and Charles Renshaw she grew up on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

opposite: Patrick McMullan via Getty Images, Lots 241, 242

Following a traditional Upper Class education at Miss Porter’s and then Barnard she broke out to become a model working for Eileen Ford while still in college. ‘I wasn’t discovered I walked right in demanding work!’

She moved on to a position as a television presenter, working from 1990-1993 on Entertainment news on HBO and followed up as the presenter with Alan Richman Of Dining Around, which ran from 1993 to 1998. Later she ran home décor stores in Southampton and Manhattan. A patron of the Ballet, Ms. Griscom was a familiar face around Manhattan. In her later years, as she fought the debilitating effects of ALS, she battled with grace and courage until the last.

T H E VA N D E R B I LT DIAMOND NECKL ACE

Wendy Vanderbilt Lehman, a woman of captivating style, was a member of one of America’s most prominent families – the Vanderbilts of the legendary Gilded Age, a period when Vanderbilt men were the merchant princes of American life through their prominence in the business world and the Vanderbilt women were international patrons of the arts.

Alfred spent his life breeding, owning and racing his horses. He managed Pimlico Race Course and Belmont Park while in his twenties, but his greatest achievements in racing came through the brilliance of one gray colt, Native Dancer, who won 21 of his 22 races – losing only the 1953 Kentucky Derby by the length of his head.

Born to Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt II and Manuela Hudson, Wendy was a direct descendent of “Commodore” Cornelius Vanderbilt, who started the family fortune in shipping, real estate and railroads. He was the founder of the New York Central Railroad and builder of Grand Central Terminal in New York City.

Alfred was also at the helm of arranging the famous match race between the Californian Seabiscuit and the East War Admiral in 1938. It was during this period that he was introduced to Wendy’s mother, the strikingly beautiful Manuela Hudson, by her cousins Marcela and Charles S. Howard, the racehorse owners of Seabiscuit. Alfred and Manuela, otherwise known as Mollie, married but eventually divorced; she later married Edward (Ned) Beale Mclean Jr. Ned was the son of American mining heiress and socialite Evalyn Walsh Mclean, who was famous for being the last private owner of the famed Hope Diamond. It was during this marriage that Ned purchased this extraordinary diamond fringe necklace for Mollie and the necklace was later inherited by Wendy.

Cornelius Vanderbilt’s descendants gained fame as successful entrepreneurs while several achieved prominence in other fields. Wendy’s father, Alfred, was the son of the first Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, who died a hero after giving his life jacket to a woman on the Lusitania when the ship was sunk by German U-boats in the Atlantic in 1915. His mother, Margaret Emerson, came from Bromo-Seltzer wealth and was one of the most sought-after hostesses of her time, operating at least seven large estates around the country. Wendy’s great grandfather, Cornelius Vanderbilt II, who built The Breakers, the famous family summer cottage in Newport, Rhode Island, had been one of America’s most revered businessmen; her great great-grandfather, William Henry Vanderbilt, was reputed to be the richest man in the world during his time. Artistic expression came naturally to Wendy’s great aunt, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, a talented sculptor who went on to establish the Whitney Museum of American Art; another great aunt, Gladys Moore Vanderbilt, inherited The Breakers; an uncle, William Henry Vanderbilt III, was governor of Rhode Island from 1938 to 1940. It was this environment of enormous privilege, surrounded by history, wealth and opportunity, in which Wendy Vanderbilt grew up. opposite: Wendy Vanderbilt Lehman in Palm Beach, Florida, 1959.

Wendy’s father, Alfred, was given Sagamore, his mother’s 600 acre horse farm in Maryland on his 21st birthday. Elegantly embodying sportsmen in society,

Wendy Vanderbilt Lehman was a sculptor and painter. Her works can be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. and other museums. She was married to the Orin Lehman, a great-grandson of Mayer Lehman, a founder of the Lehman Brothers investment house and New York State’s longestserving commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, serving from 1975 to 1993. Lot 243 is a magnificent necklace of great intrinsic importance with distinguished provenance. Of impeccable craftsmanship, the front of the necklace suspends a graduated fringe of detachable pear-shaped diamonds, each from an inverted pear-shaped diamond link, to a graduated line of circular-cut diamonds. Christie’s New York proudly offered jewelry from the collection of Wendy Vanderbilt Lehman, including The Vanderbilt Diamond Necklace, in October 2010, where it was purchased by the current owner. We are honored to offer it for sale once more.

“Barbara holds the keys to the other side of the amazingly enormous Warhol story. She was there for all the great statements of Andy’s for years before she cared. She was completely innocent, and she literally saw and heard everything and didn’t give a damn. She had the most naïve and unspoiled eye of any human to enter Manhattan.” –Peter Beard Known throughout international circles by an affectionately abbreviated name, Babs deK was a figure synonymous with style and glamor. Muse and close friend to Andy Warhol, she was part owner, cover star, and contributor to his renowned Interview magazine. Babs’s Warhol years are well documented in editorials, Polaroids and drawings. She and Andy were the undisputed disco balls of Studio 54, and in their lives outside of the club scene, they shared a deep friendship.

opposite: Bob Colacello, Barbara Allen, London, 1976. Courtesy of the artist and Vito Schnabel Gallery

Babs was at the core of the Pop Art movement inspiring and collecting pieces by the artists in her close circle. She always knew who the next “great” would be in the art world and amassed a collection reflective of her distinct sense of taste and style.

In the mid-1980s she met Henryk de Kwiatkowski and they shared a long marriage from 1986 until his passing in 2003. She was a loving mother and wife, an international beauty, and one of society’s great hostesses. She had a discerning eye and the ability to create beauty in everything she touched, reflected in the art and objects that filled her homes at Coyners Farm, Connecticut; Calumet Farm, Kentucky; Serendip Cove, Lyford Cay; and 1 Beekman Place, New York. All of her properties were beautifully decorated by the combined force and talent of Babs and Sister Parish of Parish-Hadley Associates, the firm celebrated for its designs of the Kennedy White House. Featuring boldly colored gemstones, Babs’s jewels include some of the most coveted firms, such as JAR, Belperron and Verdura. Her showstopping 10.59 carat, D color, potentially Internally Flawless diamond ring (Lot 272) was originally purchased at Harry Winston and was gifted to Barbara as an anniversary gift from her husband, Henryk de Kwiatkowski, in 2000. The following jewels, Lots 265 - 272 were worn and loved by Babs and reflect her innate sense of style and spirited eye for the vibrant and brilliant.

AT HEN A B L AC K B U R N

Athena Blackburn is a philanthropist, entrepreneur and socialite in San Francisco, California. Born and raised in Lebanon and of Greek heritage, Mrs. Blackburn embodies a multicultural upbringing and considers herself a citizen of the world. When Mrs. Blackburn was growing up, Lebanon was considered the ‘Paris of the Middle East’ due to its ability to blend Eastern and Western cultures, and this was reflected in her culture and education. Mrs. Blackburn learned to speak five languages: French, English, Greek, Italian and Arabic. After graduating from the American University of Beirut, Mrs. Blackburn visited San Francisco and stayed for five years. She briefly returned to Lebanon and then permanently moved to the United States, where she became a citizen in 1977. In the early 1980s, Mrs. Blackburn and her first husband founded the enormously successful Serena Software company. The success of the company enabled Mrs. Blackburn to begin her philanthropic initiatives. Some of the many causes Mrs. Blackburn supported include UNICEF, the Junior League of San Francisco, and the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities. Today, she remains involved with the San Francisco Symphony, Ballet, and Opera, and is a co-founder of Festival Napa Valley. She also supports Lincoln Center and the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Russian National Orchestra. As a result of her hard work and well-respected presence in the community, Mrs. Blackburn has been asked to serve on numerous boards and committees and chair galas and fundraisers in support of her causes. Similarly, she has been honored among the top volunteers in the San Francisco area and has had a day named in her honor in recognition of her efforts. opposite: Lot 321, photo, Russ Fischella

A champion of her adopted hometown, Mrs. Blackburn has always supported San Francisco, the

Bay Area and California. She has served on the Board of Governors of the Commonwealth Club of California for ten years. During that time, she has chaired the organization’s 100th anniversary gala and the United Nations Charter 50th anniversary gala. Mrs. Blackburn also was part of the committee to establish a ‘sister city’ agreement between San Francisco and Paris, accompanying then-mayor Willie Brown as part of a delegation trip to Paris. In 1999, Mrs. Blackburn was diagnosed with breast cancer. With strength and perseverance, Mrs. Blackburn’s treatment was successful. Following her own battle with cancer, she funded the Athena T. Blackburn Radiation Therapy Suite at California Pacific Medical Center. Additionally, Mrs. Blackburn has provided hundreds of mammograms for women in need. In her own words, Mrs. Blackburn describes these gifts as her way of giving back to the hospital that saved her life. Additionally, Mrs. Blackburn credits her support system of friends and her husband, Timothy Blackburn, in making a substantial difference. In 2018, Mrs. Blackburn was honored by the Susan G. Komen Foundation for her philanthropic efforts and given the Visionary Award. Mrs. Blackburn has led her life with generosity. Continuing to do so, Lots 311 through 332 from her collection are being sold to benefit charitable causes. These twenty-two lots are reflective of a woman with a keen sense of style and penchant for design. Her collection indicates her eye for quality, whimsy and elegance. Jewels by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. include icons like the ‘Bird on a Rock’ and playful bow motifs. The multi-color sapphires expertly combined by Bulgari show her love of bold color. Classic pieces by Van Cleef & Arpels and diamonds by Graff round out Mrs. Blackburn’s exquisite collection.

A long admirer of Audrey Hepburn, Mrs. Blackburn wore the piece to embody her role model’s grace and charity. The ribbon necklace, also by Tiffany & Co., was adapted to accommodate the brooch and the diamond link that was removed was adapted into the small unsigned brooch which accompanies this lot.

Kelsey I. Newman James Kazanjian Raymond Yard The du Pont Family LITERATURE:

N. Kuzmanovic, Yard: The Life and Magnificent Jewelry of Raymond C. Yard, New York, The Vendome Press, 2007, p. 80-83 for original rendering Known for his unique flair and keen eye for quality, Raymond Carter Yard set a high standard for American jewelry design in the 20th century. Under the guidance of William Elder Marcus, Yard immersed himself in the world of jewelry at a young age, working at Marcus & Co. He steadily climbed the ranks of the firm, forming close relationships with the elite of American society along the way. Yard’s honest demeanor and knowledge of jewelry caught the eye of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and they developed a personal and professional relationship that would greatly affect Yard’s career. Yard resigned from Marcus & Co. at the age of 37, and opened his first salon in May 1922. Raymond Yard’s extensive client base greatly helped him to grow his company. Rockefeller believed

in Yard’s brand and introduced him to New York’s wealthiest families, including the Vanderbilts, the Woolworths and the du Ponts, who quickly became friends of the firm. After sixty years in the jewelry business, Raymond Yard announced his retirement in 1958. Yard met with three of his most outstanding employees, Donald Bartow, Robert Gibson and Glen McQuaker, to discuss the future of his firm. In his eyes, these three men embodied that same work ethic, passion and personal integrity that he saw within himself. Yard offered the firm to the three men, requesting a down payment from each employee of a sizable amount. Within one month of receiving the three down payments, Raymond Yard returned the checks to Bartow, Gibson and McQuaker. Yard had requested the funds as a test to ensure that he was leaving the business in the hands of those passionate about the future success of Yard, Inc. The three men took over the firm on July 1, 1958. Years later, in 1966, Robert Gibson received a call from a wellknown Beverly Hills dealer, James Kazanjian, who invited him to visit Kazanjian at his home in California. During the trip, the dealer showed Gibson the famed ‘Sydney Queen’ – an impressive pear-shaped opal, along with two smaller opals of similar saturation and liveliness. The three opals were originally from the Kelsey I. Newman collection, a world renowned collection. Gibson was enchanted by the ‘Sydney Queen’ and wanted to purchase it, however, Kazanjian did not want to break up the collection. One morning during Gibson’s stay, the pair went for a swim in the ocean and Gibson was pulled under by a violent wave. When Kazanjian got to Gibson to ask him if he was okay, Gibson suddenly exclaimed that he needed to buy all three opals. The deal was made and the acquisition of the ‘Sydney Queen’ became one of the most important acquisitions for the firm. In 1967, Don Bartow sold the stones to the du Pont family and the ‘Sydney Queen’ was mounted for the family’s collection in in 1969. The 'Sydney Queen' was purchased by the current owner's father as a gift to his mother, Virginia, to honor her for providing him with the land and means to pay for the construction of his home, when he was a newlywed in the 1960s.

The extraordinary colored sapphire, known as a padparadscha, was originally only found in Ceylon, also known as the Island of Gems. At the center of one of history’s classic gem locations is the ‘gem city’ of Ratnapura. Under the tropical jungles and exotic terrain of this region lies one of nature’s most dramatic treasure troves of mineral wealth. Ceylon has remained one of the world’s primary sources for exquisite gems for more than two thousand years. The designation ‘padparadscha’ derives from the Sinhalese word for ‘aquatic lotus blossom’, which shares the same pinkish orange color. This unique color is the result of a careful combination of well-balanced trace elements in the gemstone. Padparadscha is the only variety of corundum, other than ruby, that is given its own name, rather than being referred to as a sapphire of a particular color. Padparadscha sapphires are formed metamorphically by the earth's tectonic plates colliding with each other, the same movement that causes mountain ranges to form and earthquakes to occur. Within the earth's natural movement, crystals and minerals deep underground are heated, merged and formed into new crystals. Only the slightest presence of chemical material can determine whether a padparadscha, ruby, sapphire or other colored sapphire will form. While sapphires are naturally colored with iron and rubies with chromium, padparadschas are colored by the presence of both. The delicate balance of pink and orange hues makes this gem one of nature's rarest.

Padparadscha sapphires are normally a pale pinkish orange color, making this large, richly saturated example, which weighs over 24 carats, extremely rare. Although Ceylon has been a source of sapphires for many centuries, only a very small percentage of these are top gem quality and of significant size. Naturally, such a rarity is highly desirable and collectable among gem connoisseurs. A natural padparadscha from Ceylon of this size and quality, unenhanced by heat or clarity treatments, is exceptionally rare. This exquisite padparadscha sapphire was acquired by the current owner's great-grandmother while on holiday in Ceylon in 1937. It is most appropriate that such a significant example of a padparadscha comes from one of the oldest and most important producers of fine gem material and was acquired by one of America’s most prominent families. The island Ceylon was the world’s first and only source of this gem variety for centuries. However, recently sapphires within the small color range have also been found in places such as Madagascar, Tanzania and Vietnam. According to the American Gemological Laboratories, the du Pont Padparascha’s size, 24.58 carats, places it in a class with very few gem quality padparadschas from any source.

L A N A C HENKO -H A D DA D

Svetlana Cherevchenko was born in Chicago, Illinois on February 6, 1957. Her mother Luba Sestuk immigrated from Belarus and her father Peter Cherevchenko from Ukraine in search of a better life in the United Sates after World War II. A brilliant student, Lana excelled in school and spoke multiple languages, including English, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian. During her childhood, Lana sought comfort from the hardships of poverty and hunger. She learned to escape the difficulties she faced by playing the violin, delving into books, watching movies and focusing on her studies. Lana's love of learning carried into to her college years. She applied herself scholastically and developed a particular interest in the humanities, a natural fit due to her love of classic literature and poetry. She earned degrees in Criminal Justice and Nursing. Lana received many honors and joined MENSA and Phi Theta Kappa. opposite: Lana Chenko-Haddad Credit: Jessica Callahan

After university, Lana rejoined her sister in Chicago in the 1970s, where she ultimately met

the love of her life, concert promoter and music industry icon Edward Haddad. They quickly fell in love and moved to Los Angeles, California to start their shared life. Together, they had four children, Natalie, Nicole, Noelle and Edward Jr. A devoted mother, Lana fully dedicated herself to caring for her children. She encouraged her children to follow their dreams without criticism or judgement. She always regarded her children as her greatest accomplishment in life. Though she faced adversity early in life, Lana was a giving and empathetic woman. She was described by many as an idealist with a heart of gold who sought to bring compassion, love and assistance to those around her. Her deep concern for others made her a valuable asset to the many clubs, organizations and charitable causes to which she dedicated her time. Charity was always important to her and an integral part of her life.

A star within connoisseurs’ circles but otherwise lesser known, Belperron never signed her work, and when asked for the reason, replied “my style is my signature.” Born in 1900 in France, Belperron studied drawing and jewelry at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Besancon, worked under her mentor Jeanne Boivin, then designed exclusively for Bernard Herz under the name of Herz. From her roots in Art Deco, Belperron pioneered ways to carve various crystals into sensuous shapes to be set in precious and semi-precious stones, employing motifs from Egyptian, Indian, Cambodian, Celtic, African and Mayan cultures. Fashion innovator Elsa Schiaparelli championed Belperron, whose expanding clientele included European royalty, the cafe society, and Hollywood luminaries. Bernard Herz perished in a concentration camp during World War II, and Belperron re-registered the business renaming it “Belperron”. After the war, Bernard’s son Jean survived as a prisoner of war and returned to Paris.The partnership resumed under the new name “Herz-Belperron.” Belperron retired in 1974 but consulted for friends and special clients until her death in 1983. New York based jewelers Ward and Nico Landrigan, owners of Verdura, purchased the Belperron name and archives in 1999, and published an illustrated biography in 2016. RENE BOIVIN Born in Paris in 1864, René Boivin began his career as a designer and engraver. In 1893 he married Jeanne Poiret, sister of the famous couturier and the first woman jeweller of the 20th century, and together they created some of the most bold and daring fashions of the early 1900s. After Boivin’s death in 1917, Jeanne established herself at Avenue de l’Opéra with Juliette Moutard and her daughter, Germaine Boivin.The three worked together for forty years, joined between 1921 and 1932 by Suzanne Belperron, creating such signature pieces as the Starfish (1936). Upon Jeanne Boivin’s death in 1959, the house was taken over by Louis Girard. In April 1991, the company became part of Asprey Group. The main office and boutique are located on avenue Montaigne. BOUCHERON Frédéric Boucheron opened his first jewellery salon at the Palais Royal in 1858, and soon acquired fame as an expert in precious stones, a masterful technician and a creator of beautiful jewellery. In 1893 he was the first jeweller to set up shop at the Place Vendôme, where he continued to serve the social elite, and from where the firm still operates successfully today. Over the years, the Maison Boucheron opened branches in Moscow and London, and also in Japan, the Middle and Far East. Boucheron exhibited in many international expositions, including the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial, the 1889 and 1900 Expositions Universelles in Paris, the 1893 World’s Colombian Exposition in Chicago and the 1925 Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Boucheron was acquired in May 2000 by the Gucci Group (PPR), one of the world’s leading multi-brand luxury goods company.

GRAFF Founded in 1966 by Laurence Graff, Graff Diamonds has set an unsurpassed standard of excellence and innovation in the world of high jewellery. Graff is involved in all stages of the production process, from the mining, cutting and polishing of the diamond and the initial vision and design, to the final exquisite Graff jewel.The Graff master jewellers, based at the company Headquarters in London, draw upon years of training and exceptional levels of skill to create the extraordinarily fine settings and intricate designs synonymous with Graff, the most fabulous jewels in the world. Laurence Graff is considered a world leader in the field, and one of the most significant forces in the market. It is said that he has handled more world famous diamonds than any other diamantaire, including the Idol’s Eye, the Begum Blue, the Emperor Maximilian and the Lesotho Promise.

JAR After graduating from Harvard in 1965, Joel Arthur Rosenthal moved to Paris and started with his partner Pierre Jeannet a tiny boutique on rue de l’Universite, creating needlepoint art with wool threads of unexpected colors, a niche endeavor which earned him early fame. Subsequently he applied the same artisanal spirit to jewelry, and opened a salon with Jeannet in Place Vendome named JAR after his initials. Shy by nature, he lives an almost anonymous existence in the creative universe of his atelier, for a most exclusive clientele, producing only 70-80 pieces a year. He is admired for his sculptural work, inseparable from that ingenious pave work, juxtaposing stones with the sense of color that is his alone.There has been three solo exhibitions: in 1987 at the National Academy of Design in New York, at Somerset House in London in 2002, and in November 2013 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.The last exhibition was an important salute to Rosenthal’s talents, as he was the first living jewelry designer to be accorded a dedicated retrospective in the history of the Met. KWIAT In the early 1900s, Sam Kwiat arrived in the United States on a steamship from Europe. In 1907, he opened a store selling diamonds and jewellery in the heart of New York’s diamond district, on Manhattan’s lower east side. In a short period, he became known as a skilled diamond merchant, with an expertise in cutting fine diamonds. In 1933, he was joined by his son David, who at 17 years old was a talented craftsman and jewellery designer. Under David’s direction, the company greatly expanded. He was one of the first in the industry to publish a catalogue of his diamond jewellery inventory, and Kwiat’s pieces could soon be found in shops on New York’s Fifth Avenue and around the world. In 2008 Kwiat opened its first flagship boutiques in New York at 725 Madison Avenue and Las Vegas at the Palazzo Hotel. In 2009 it purchased the jewellery firm of Fred Leighton, based also in New York and Las Vegas. Today, the company continues to be owned and operated by the 3rd and 4th generation of Kwiat family members. MARCUS & CO. Hermann Marcus was born in Germany in 1828. After several stints of working at Tiffany’s, he joined his son William’s business in 1884. In 1892, the firm was given the name Marcus & Co.They were one of the first American firms to produce Art Nouveau jewellery. Initially located at 857 Broadway and later on Fifth Avenue, they eventually opened branches in London, Paris, Palm Beach and Bombay. In 1962, they merged with Black, Starr & Frost.The new firm was subsequently purchased by Kay Jewellers and then Sterling, Inc. MARINA B. Marina Bvlgari hails from the famous Bvlgari family, and created jewellery for the firm until the mid-1970s. After her father’s death, she started her own eponymous brand, Marina B. in Geneva. Almost immediately, her iconic designs, based on bold colour combinations, adorned movie stars like Sophia Loren, and women of international high society. In June 2010, her firm was acquired by Windsor Jewelers Inc. In June 2017, it was again acquired by French American designer Guy Bedarida, formerly of Van Cleef & Arpels and John Hardy, acting also as the brand’s artistic director.

MAUBOUSSIN In 1827 Mr Rocher and his cousin, Baptiste Noury, opened a jewellery shop in Paris. Noury’s nephew, Georges Mauboussin, joined the firm, assuming control in 1896. In 1922 the business was named ‘Mauboussin, Successeur de Noury’, and later, simply ‘Mauboussin’.The house of Mauboussin exhibited at all major international exhibitions in the first half of the 20th century, receiving the Grand Prix at the 1925 Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, with Georges Mauboussin awarded the “Légion d’Honneur” for his contribution to the jewellery industry. In October 1929 Mauboussin opened an office in New York, just a month before the stock market crash. A merger was negotiated with the American jeweller,Trabert & Hoeffer, and the firm traded as “Trabert & Hoeffer – Mauboussin” until the 1950s. In 2002, Dominique Frémont, a Swiss businessman, acquired the firm, with its flagship at 20, Place Vendôme.With shops at the Champs Elysees and 6 other locations in Paris, Mauboussin now caters to a more popular clientele MOUSSAIEFF Moussaieff Jewellers was established in the 1850s in Bukara, Russia, by Shlomo Moussaieff. His son, Remo, established himself as a gem dealer in Paris, and in 1963 Remo’s son, also named Shlomo, and his wife, Alisa, opened the first Moussaieff showroom at the London Hilton on Park Lane. Shlomo retired in 2005, leaving the business in the hands of Alisa and their three daughters.With over 55 years of experience, and the driving force behind this dynamic family business, Alisa Moussaieff has become one of the most influential and respected players in the diamond market, dealing with the rarest and the most valuable gems. Over the years, Alisa Moussaieff has built up a remarkable collection of extraordinary gemstones, which includes such historic pieces as the ‘Moussaieff Red’, which at 5.11 carats, is the largest certified Natural Fancy Red diamond in the world. Moussaieff jewels have adorned a prestigious international clientele from royalty to celebrities and are handmade in their Paris workshops, with showrooms in London, on Bond Street and at the Hilton Hotel, and in Geneva, at the Grand Hotel Kempinski. PATEK PHILIPPE Patek Philippe was founded in 1839 by two Polish nationals, Antoine Norbert de Patek and Francois Czapek as Patek, Czapek & Co. In 1845, Patek joined forces with French watchmaker Adrien Philippe. A great innovator, Philippe invented the modern stemwinding and setting mechanism for watches.The firm then developed the first keyless watch, one of the early versions of which was purchased by Queen Victoria at the world’s first international trade fair the Great Exhibition of 1851.The company went on to create an array of extremely complicated watches. Today, the company is run by the Stern family and is represented by about 350 watchmakers and jewellers worldwide. RUBEL FRERES Rubel Frères, the Parisian manufacturing firm associated with Van Cleef & Arpels, moved to New York in 1939 shortly after Van Cleef & Arpels opened their salon. In 1943, their affiliation was dissolved and Rubel opened at 777 Fifth Avenue, next to the Savoy, under his Americanised name, John Rubel Co.There followed branches in London and Paris.


SABBADINI Located at 8,Via Montenapoleone in Milan, Sabbadini has been a successful family business for several generations. Founded in 1931, Alberto Esquenazi was an importer of diamonds and jewelry in Spain. Adapting to the changes brought on by WWII, he changed gears and partnered with his son in law Bruno Sabbadini to trade gemstones. Current president Alberto Sabbadini took over from his father Bruno in 1967, and now manages the company with his wife Stefania, and son Pierandrea. A gem expert and designer, Sabbadini is well-known for his 1986 creation of the calibré-cut ruby, sapphire and yellow sapphire jewellery, and in particular the bumble bee design. In addition to Milan, the company also has a base at 589 Fifth Avenue in New York, established in 1984. SEAMAN SCHEPPS Seaman Schepps opened his first jewellery salon in Los Angeles in 1904 and, in 1914, in San Francisco. In 1921, he relocated to Sixth Avenue in New York City, but he was forced to close this salon after the stock market crash in 1929. After reassessing current jewellery trends, he opened an exclusive shop on Madison Avenue in 1934, offering only unique and original designs. His jewellery is characterised by the utilisation of precious and semi-precious stones together with man-made materials to create an interesting colour palette. He popularised gem-set animal jewellery, but is most noted for his earrings of pearlised turbo shells mounted with gold wire and set with coloured gemstones. In 1956, Seaman Schepps relocated to 485 Park Avenue where his jewellery continues to be offered to a discriminating clientele, even though Schepps passed away in 1972. SCHLUMBERGER Jean Schlumberger was born in 1907 in Mulhouse, in the German-controlled Alsace, into a family of textile industrialists. Preferring art to textiles, his first jewellery creations were china flowers mounted as clips, which he gave to his friends.They caught the attention of the couturière Elsa Schiaparelli who commissioned Schlumberger to design costume jewellery. After serving in the Army and then the Free French Forces, he set up workshops with his business partner, Nicolas Bongard, in New York and Paris. In 1956,Walter Hoving, the new chairman of Tiffany & Co., brought Schlumberger into the firm as a vice president. He also invited Schlumberger to stamp his creations with his name, the first designer to be given this privilege. In 1961, the Wildenstein Gallery in New York held an exhibition of his jewellery and objets d’art.The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has on permanent exhibit a selection of his jewels and fantasy objects on loan from Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon. Jean Schlumberger died in 1987, and his creations continue to be offered by Tiffany & Co.

TIFFANY & CO. On September 21, 1837, Charles Lewis Tiffany and John P.Young opened a stationery and fancy goods store known as Tiffany & Young at 259 Broadway in New York City. Jewellery and silver items were later added to their stock. By 1853, Charles Tiffany had assumed complete ownership of the business, renamed Tiffany & Co. During the 19th century, Tiffany became a leading international jeweler, buoyed by designers Edward C. Moore and G. Paulding Farnham, and gemmologist George Frederick Kunz. From 1907, the firm manufactured and sold the jewellery designs of Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of Charles. From 1955, a number of groundbreaking talents joined the firm, including Jean Schlumberger and Donald Claflin, followed by Elsa Peretti in 1974 and Paloma Picasso in 1980. In 1979, Avon Products purchased Tiffany & Co. followed by a management-led buyout headed by then chairman William R. Chaney in 1984. The company eventually went public in 1987, expanding into key domestic and international markets.Today they cover over 100 locations worldwide. VAN CLEEF & ARPELS The house of Van Cleef & Arpels was the result of the marriage between Alfred Van Cleef and Estelle Arpels. In 1906, Alfred founded Van Cleef & Arpels with Estelle’s brother Charles at 22 Place Vendome, soon joined by family members Julien and Louis Arpels. Rene Puissant, daughter of Alfred and Estelle formed a design team with Rene Sim Lacaze, and produced jewels for the firm for 2 decades. Claude, son of Julien joined the family business in 1932 and opened in 1939 at the Rockefeller Centre in New York the first of 6 boutiques in the US. The 1930’s was as much a golden period for expansion as creativity; the house’s trademark, the “Mystery” setting, the “Minaudiere”, the “Pass Partout” line were all created during this time. Notable designs of the decades that followed include the “Snowflake” jewels of the 1940’s, the “Ballet” of the 1960’s and the ‘Alhambra” theme of the 1970’s. In 1972, the Boutique Des Heures was inaugurated to house the new watch designs launched by Pierre Arpels. In 1999,Van Cleef & Arpels was acquired by Richemont Group, and now has over 45 boutiques around the world. VERDURA Fulco Santostefano della Cerda, Duke of Verdura, moved from his native Palermo to Paris in 1926, where he began working with Coco Chanel, initially as a textile designer, and eventually as head jewellery designer. After relocating to the United States in 1937, he took a position as designer at Paul Flato’s jewellery establishment, first in New York, then in California. He remained with Flato for two years before opening his own salon in 1939 at 712 Fifth Avenue and a second, in 1947, in Paris on rue Boissy d’Anglas. His jewellery featured gold mountings with precious and semi-precious stones, a bold undertaking at the time when platinum was the most popular metal. In 1972,Verdura sold the business to his associate, Joseph G. Alfano, and retired to London, living there until his death in 1978. In 1985, Edward J. Landrigan purchased Verdura, Inc. and established a salon at 745 Fifth Avenue, where he continues to produce fine jewels from Verdura’s original drawings in a manner consistent with the Duke’s tradition. VERGER Georges Verger was one of the most famous clock designers of the 1920s. He was particularly known for his innovative use of precious materials in clocks, stands, frames and watches. He worked with all of the great jewellers of the day, among them Van Cleef & Arpels, Janesich, Lacloche and Boucheron in Europe, and Tiffany, Black, Starr & Frost and J. E. Caldwell in the United States.

DAVID WEBB In 1941, at the age of 16, David Webb travelled from his birthplace, Asheville, North Carolina, to New York City, where his special gifts as a jeweller and designer quickly became apparent. He was noticed by Antoinette Quilleret, a French socialite living in Manhattan, with exquisite taste. In 1948, with her backing, he formed David Webb Inc., setting up shop on 57th Street. At the height of production, his two full-time workshops employed 200 jewellers and 37 setters. David Webb’s designs of the 1950s and early 1960s showcased endless variations on animals, flowers and organic forms. His love of nature took shape in jewels of all sizes and varieties. He then adopted a new vocabulary of hammered gold, enamel, colours, textures and shapes, synthesised into geometric motifs that reflected the spirit of the 1970s. By his untimely death in 1975, David Webb had established himself as “the” jeweller in Manhattan. In addition, he was also dedicated to creating special order pieces for New York society members who flocked to him. After his death, the company was managed for 35 years by Nina Silberstein, David Webb’s business partner and later, her son, Stanley. Over this period, they oversaw the firm’s expansion into new markets such as Beverly Hills, Houston and Kuwait. In 2010, it was purchased by New York jewellery dealers Mark Emanuel and Robert Sadian. Under this new ownership, David Webb’s tradition of design and craftsmanship is being actively maintained, with older pieces remade according to their original drawings and archives. HARRY WINSTON Harry Winston (1896-1978) bought his first emerald at the age of twelve, acquired many prominent collections during his career and at one point owned as many as a third of the famous diamonds of the world. He founded his first business in New York City, the Premier Diamond Company, at age 24. In 1932 he incorporated under his own name and began to manufacture and retail jewelry.Winston was responsible for the cutting of such famous diamonds as the Jonker,Vargas, Star of Sierra Leone and what would become the legendary Taylor-Burton diamond. Proclaimed the King of Diamonds in 1947 by Cosmopolitan magazine, he was responsible for donating perhaps the most famous of all diamonds, the Hope diamond to the Smithsonian. Upon his death in 1978, son Ronald assumed control of the company. In 2004, Aber Diamond Corporation acquired a controlling interest in the company, taking it public in 2007 under the name Harry Winston Diamond Corporation. In 2013 the Swatch Group acquired the retail arm of Harry Winston, with the mining group under separate ownership under the name of Dominion Diamond Corporation.Today, Harry Winston retail salons span across the US, Europe and Asia, championing Rare Jewels of the World, the company’s motto. RAYMOND YARD Raymond C.Yard began his career as a doorboy at Marcus & Co. in 1898, rising to salesman and then general manager.With the encouragement of John D. Rockefeller Jr., he opened his own salon at 522 Fifth Avenue in 1922, serving many prominent families in New York. Since then, the firm has moved five times, always remaining on Fifth Avenue. In 1958, when Yard died, the firm was taken over by his associates, Robert Gibson, Donald Bartow and Glen McQuaker. Upon the retirement of Bartow and McQuaker, Gibson assumed leadership of the company. In 1985, his son Robert M. Gibson became associated with the firm, later to become president upon his father’s retirement.

7 JEWELLERY

(a) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted by the international jewellery trade but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care over time.

Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports will be described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemmological laboratories will describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemmological laboratories will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made.

3 IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE THE RIGHT DOCUMENTS

If in our opinion you do not satisfy our bidder identification and registration procedures including, but not limited to completing any anti-money laundering and/or anti-terrorism financing checks we may require to our satisfaction, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller.

4 BIDDING ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON

If you are bidding on behalf of another person, that person will need to complete the registration requirements above before you can bid, and supply a signed letter authorising you to bid for him/her. A bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless it has been agreed in writing with Christie’s, before commencement of the auction, that the bidder is acting as an agent on behalf of a named third party acceptable to Christie’s and that Christie’s will only seek payment from the named third party.

5 BIDDING IN PERSON

If you wish to bid in the saleroom you must register for a numbered bidding paddle at least 30 minutes before the auction. You may register online at www.christies.com or in person. For help, please contact the Client Service Department on +1 212-636-2000.

6 BIDDING SERVICES

The bidding services described below are a free service offered as a convenience to our clients and Christie’s is not responsible for any error (human or otherwise), omission, or breakdown in providing these services. (a) Phone Bids Your request for this service must be made no later than 24 hours prior to the auction. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff are available to take the bids. If you need to bid in a language other than in English, you must arrange this well before the auction. We may record telephone bids. By bidding on the telephone, you are agreeing to us recording your conversations. You also agree that your telephone bids are governed by these Conditions of Sale. (b) Internet Bids on Christie’s LIVE™ For certain auctions we will accept bids over the Internet. For more information, please visit https://www.christies.com/buying-services/ buying-guide/register-and-bid/ As well as these Conditions of Sale, internet bids are governed by the Christie’s LIVE™ Terms of Use which are available on is https://www.christies.com/LiveBidding/ OnlineTermsOfUse.aspx. (c) Written Bids You can find a Written Bid Form at the back of our catalogues, at any Christie’s office, or by choosing the sale and viewing the lots online at www.christies. com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least 24 hours before the auction. Bids must be placed in the currency of the saleroom. The auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry out written bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the reserve. If you make a written bid on a lot which does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at around 50% of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. If we receive written bids on a lot for identical amounts, and at the auction these are the highest bids on the lot, we will sell the lot to the bidder whose written bid we received first.

C CONDUCTING THE SALE 1 WHO CAN ENTER THE AUCTION We may, at our option, refuse admission to our premises or decline to permit participation in any auction or to reject any bid.

2 RESERVES

Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are subject to a reserve. We identify lots that are offered without reserve with the symbol • next to the lot number. The reserve cannot be more than the lot’s low estimate.

3 AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION

The auctioneer can at his or her sole option: (a) refuse any bid; (b) move the bidding backwards or forwards in any way he or she may decide, or change the order of the lots; (c) withdraw any lot; (d) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (e) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (f) in the case of error or dispute related to bidding and whether during or after the auction, continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot. If you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error, you must provide a written notice detailing your claim within 3 business days of the date of the auction. The auctioneer will consider such claim in good faith. If the auctioneer, in the exercise of his or her discretion under this paragraph, decides after the auction is complete, to cancel the sale of a lot, or reoffer and resell a lot, he or she will notify the successful bidder no later than by the end of the 7th calendar day following the date of the auction. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way prejudice Christie’s ability to cancel the sale of a lot under any other applicable provision of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(3), E(2)(i), F(4), and J(1).

4 BIDDING

The auctioneer accepts bids from: (a) bidders in the saleroom; (b) telephone bidders; (c) internet bidders through ‘Christie’s LIVE™ (as shown above in paragraph B6); and (d) written bids (also known as absentee bids or commission bids) left with us by a bidder before the auction.

5 BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER

The auctioneer may, at his or her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to but not including the amount of the reserve either by making consecutive bids or by making bids in response to other bidders. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller and will not make any bid on behalf of the seller at or above the reserve. If lots are offered without reserve, the auctioneer will generally decide to open the bidding at 50% of the low estimate for the lot. If no bid is made at that level, the auctioneer may decide to go backwards at his or her sole option until a bid is made, and then continue up from that amount. In the event that there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem such lot unsold.

6 BID INCREMENTS

Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps (bid increments). The auctioneer will decide at his or her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. The usual bid increments are shown for guidance only on the Written Bid Form at the back of this catalogue.

7 CURRENCY CONVERTER

The saleroom video screens (and Christies LIVE™) may show bids in some other major currencies as well as US dollars. Any conversion is for guidance only and we cannot be bound by any rate of exchange used. Christie’s is not responsible for any error (human or otherwise), omission or breakdown in providing these services.

8 SUCCESSFUL BIDS

Unless the auctioneer decides to use his or her discretion as set out in paragraph C3 above, when the auctioneer’s hammer strikes, we have accepted the last bid. This means a contract for sale has been formed between the seller and the successful bidder. We will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we do not accept responsibility for telling you whether or not your bid was successful. If you have bid by written bid, you should contact us by telephone or in person as soon as possible after the auction to get details of the outcome of your bid to avoid having to pay unnecessary storage charges.

9 LOCAL BIDDING LAWS

You agree that when bidding in any of our sales that you will strictly comply with all local laws and regulations in force at the time of the sale for the relevant sale site.


D THE BUYER’S PREMIUM AND TAXES 1 THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots we charge 25% of the hammer price up to and including US$600,000, 20% on that part of the hammer price over US$600,000 and up to and including US$6,000,000, and 14.5% of that part of the hammer price above US$6,000,000.

2 TAXES

The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. For lots Christie’s ships to or within the United States, a sales or use tax may be due on the hammer price, buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. Christie’s will collect sales tax where legally required. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped. Christie’s shall collect New York sales tax at a rate of 8.875% for any lot collected from Christie’s in New York. In accordance with New York law, if Christie’s arranges the shipment of a lot out of New York State, New York sales tax does not apply, although sales tax or other applicable taxes for other states may apply. If you hire a shipper (other than a common carrier authorized by Christie’s), to collect the lot from a Christie’s New York location, Christie’s must collect New York sales tax on the lot at a rate of 8.875% regardless of the ultimate destination of the lot. If Christie’s delivers the lot to, or the lot is collected by, any framer, restorer or other similar service provider in New York that you have hired, New York law considers the lot delivered to the successful bidder in New York and New York sales tax must be imposed regardless of the ultimate destination of the lot. In this circumstance, New York sales tax will apply to the lot even if Christie’s or a common carrier (authorized by Christie’s that you hire) subsequently delivers the lot outside New York. Successful bidders claiming an exemption from sales tax must provide appropriate documentation to Christie’s prior to the release of the lot or within 90 days after the sale, whichever is earlier. For shipments to those states for which Christie’s is not required to collect sales tax, a successful bidder may have a use or similar tax obligation. It is the successful bidder’s responsibility to pay all taxes due. Christie’s recommends you consult your own independent tax advisor with any questions.

E WARRANTIES 1 SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller: (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot, or the right to do so in law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph F1(a) below) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages or expenses. The seller gives no warranty in relation to any lot other than as set out above and, as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller which may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded.

2 OUR AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY

We warrant, subject to the terms below, that the lots in our sales are authentic (our “authenticity warranty”). If, within 5 years of the date of the auction, you give notice to us that your lot is not authentic, subject to the terms below, we will refund the purchase price paid by you. The meaning of authentic can be found in the glossary at the end of these Conditions of Sale. The terms of the authenticity warranty are as follows: (a) It will be honored for claims notified within a period of 5 years from the date of the auction. After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the authenticity warranty. (b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the “Heading”). It does not apply to any information other than in the Heading even if shown in UPPERCASE type.

(c) The authenticity warranty does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading which is qualified. Qualified means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the section titled Qualified Headings on the page of the catalogue headed “Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice”. For example, use of the term “ATTRIBUTED TO…” in a Heading means that the lot is in Christie’s opinion probably a work by the named artist but no warranty is provided that the lot is the work of the named artist. Please read the full list of Qualified Headings and a lot’s full catalogue description before bidding. (d) The authenticity warranty applies to the Heading as amended by any Saleroom Notice. (e) The authenticity warranty does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion. (f) The authenticity warranty does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process which, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, or which was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or which was likely to have damaged the lot. (g) The benefit of the authenticity warranty is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale and only if on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this authenticity warranty may not be transferred to anyone else. (h) In order to claim under the authenticity warranty you must: (i) give us written notice of your claim within 5 years of the date of the auction. We may require full details and supporting evidence of any such claim; (ii) at Christie’s option, we may require you to provide the written opinions of two recognised experts in the field of the lot mutually agreed by you and us in advance confirming that the lot is not authentic. If we have any doubts, we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense; and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale. (i) Your only right under this authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages or expenses. (j) Books. Where the lot is a book, we give an additional warranty for 21 days from the date of the auction that any lot is defective in text or illustration, we will refund your purchase price, subject to the following terms: (a) This additional warranty does not apply to: (i) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards or advertisements, damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears or other defects not affecting completeness of the text or illustration; (ii) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps or periodicals; (iii) books not identified by title; (iv) lots sold without a printed estimate; (v) books which are described in the catalogue as sold not subject to return; or (vi) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale. (b) To make a claim under this paragraph you must give written details of the defect and return the lot to the sale room at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale, within 21 days of the date of the sale. (k) South East Asian Modern and Contemporary Art and Chinese Calligraphy and Painting. In these categories, the authenticity warranty does not apply because current scholarship does not permit the making of definitive statements. Christie’s does, however, agree to cancel a sale in either of these two categories of art where it has been proven the lot is a forgery. Christie’s will refund to the original buyer the purchase price in accordance with the terms of Christie’s Authenticity Warranty, provided that the original buyer notifies us with full supporting evidence documenting the forgery claim within twelve (12) months of the date of the auction.

Such evidence must be satisfactory to us that the property is a forgery in accordance with paragraph E2(h)(ii) above and the property must be returned to us in accordance with E2h(iii) above. Paragraphs E2(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) and (i) also apply to a claim under these categories. (l) Chinese, Japanese and Korean artefacts (excluding Chinese, Japanese and Korean calligraphy, paintings, prints, drawings and jewellery). In these categories, paragraph E2 (b) – (e) above shall be amended so that where no maker or artist is identified, the authenticity warranty is given not only for the Heading but also for information regarding date or period shown in UPPERCASE type in the second line of the catalogue description (the “Subheading”). Accordingly, all references to the Heading in paragraph E2 (b) – (e) above shall be read as references to both the Heading and the Subheading.

However, we can arrange to pack, transport, and ship your property if you ask us to and pay the costs of doing so. We recommend that you ask us for an estimate, especially for any large items or items of high value that need professional packing.

See the information set out at https://www. christies.com/buying-services/buying-guide/ ship/ or contact us at PostSaleUS@christies.com. We will take reasonable care when we are handling, packing, transporting, and shipping a. However, if we recommend another company for any of these purposes, we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect.

2 EXPORT AND IMPORT

Any lot sold at auction may be affected by laws on exports from the country in which it is sold and the import restrictions of other countries. Many countries require a declaration of export for property leaving the country and/or an import declaration on entry of property into the country. Local laws may prevent you from importing a lot or may prevent you selling a lot in the country you import it into. (a) You alone are responsible for getting advice about and meeting the requirements of any laws or regulations which apply to exporting or importing any lot prior to bidding. If you are refused a licence or there is a delay in getting one, you must still pay us in full for the lot. We may be able to help you apply for the appropriate licences if you ask us to and pay our fee for doing so. However, we cannot guarantee that you will get one. For more information, please contact Christie’s Post-Sale Services Department at +1 212 636 2650 and PostSaleUS@christies.com. See the information set out at https://www. christies.com/buying-services/buying-guide/ ship/ or contact us at PostSaleUS@christies.com. (b) You alone are responsible for any applicable taxes, tariffs or other government-imposed charges relating to the export or import of the lot. If Christie’s exports or imports the lot on your behalf, and if Christie’s pays these applicable taxes, tariffs or other government-imposed charges, you agree to refund that amount to Christie’s. (c) Endangered and protected species Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~ in the catalogue. This material includes, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood. You should check the relevant customs laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to import the lot into another country. Several countries refuse to allow you to import property containing these materials, and some other countries require a licence from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. In some cases, the lot can only be shipped with an independent scientific confirmation of species and/or age, and you will need to obtain these at your own cost. (d) Lots containing Ivory or materials resembling ivory If a lot contains elephant ivory, or any other wildlife material that could be confused with elephant

ivory (for example, mammoth ivory, walrus ivory, helmeted hornbill ivory) you may be prevented from exporting the lot from the US or shipping it between US States without first confirming its species by way of a rigorous scientific test acceptable to the applicable Fish and Wildlife authorities. You will buy that lot at your own risk and be responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the USA or between US States at your own cost. We will not be obliged to cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported or shipped between US States, or it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to interstate shipping, export or import of property containing such protected or regulated material. (e) Lots of Iranian origin Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase, the export and/or import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (works that are not by a recognized artist and/or that have a function, (for example: carpets, bowls, ewers, tiles, ornamental boxes). For example, the USA prohibits the import and export of this type of property without a license issued by the US Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control. Other countries, such as Canada, only permit the import of this property in certain circumstances. As a convenience to buyers, Christie’s indicates under the title of a lot if the lot originates from Iran (Persia). It is your responsibility to ensure you do not bid on or import a lot in contravention of the sanctions or trade embargoes that apply to you. (f) Gold Gold of less than 18ct does not qualify in all countries as ‘gold’ and may be refused import into those countries as ‘gold’. (g) Watches Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile. These lots are marked with the symbol Ψ in the catalogue. These endangered species straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. Christie’s will remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. At some sale sites, Christie’s may, at its discretion, make the displayed endangered species strap available to the buyer of the lot free of charge if collected in person from the sale site within 1 year of the date of the auction.

IMPORTANT NOTICES AND EXPLANATION OF CATALOGUING PRACTICE IMPORTANT NOTICES

Post-catalogue notifications

∆ Property Owned in part or in full by Christie’s

In certain instances, after the catalogue has been published, Christie’s may enter into an arrangement or become aware of bidding that would have required a catalogue symbol. In those instances, a pre-sale or pre-lot announcement will be made.

From time to time, Christie’s may offer a lot which it owns in whole or in part. Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol Δ next to its lot number. Where Christie’s has an ownership or financial interest in every lot in the catalogue, Christie’s will not designate each lot with a symbol, but will state its interest in the front of the catalogue. º Minimum Price Guarantees 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. Where Christie’s holds such financial interest we identify such lots with the symbol º next to the lot number. º ♦ Third Party Guarantees/Irrevocable bids Where Christie’s has provided a Minimum Price Guarantee it is at risk of making a loss if the lot fails to sell. Christie’s sometimes chooses to share that risk with a third party who agrees prior to the auction to place an irrevocable written bid on the lot. If there are no other higher bids, the third party commits to buy the lot at the level of their irrevocable written bid. In doing so, the third party takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold. Lots which are subject to a third party guarantee arrangement are identified in the catalogue with the symbol º ♦. In most cases, Christie’s compensates the third party in exchange for accepting this risk. Where the third party is the successful bidder, the third party’s remuneration is based on a fixed financing fee. If the third party is not the successful bidder, the remuneration may either be based on a fixed fee or is an amount calculated against the hammer price. The third party may continue to bid for the lot above the irrevocable written bid. Where the third party is the successful bidder, Christie’s will report the purchase price net of the fixed financing fee. Third party guarantors are required by us to disclose to anyone they are advising their financial interest in any lots they are guaranteeing. However, for the avoidance of any doubt, if you are advised by or bidding through an agent on a lot identified as being subject to a third party guarantee, you should always ask your agent to confirm whether or not he or she has a financial interest in relation to the lot ¤ Bidding by interested parties When a party with a direct or indirect interest in the lot who may have knowledge of the lot’s reserve or other material information may be bidding on the lot, we will mark the lot with this symbol ¤. This interest can include beneficiaries of an estate that consigned the lot or a joint owner of a lot. Any interested party that successfully bids on a lot must comply with Christie’s Conditions of Sale, including paying the lot’s full Buyer’s Premium plus applicable taxes.

Other Arrangements Christie’s may enter into other arrangements not involving bids. These include arrangements where Christie’s has given the Seller an Advance on the proceeds of sale of the lot or where Christie’s has shared the risk of a guarantee with a partner without the partner being required to place an irrevocable written bid or otherwise participating in the bidding on the lot. Because such arrangements are unrelated to the bidding process they are not marked with a symbol in the catalogue.

FOR PICTURES, DRAWINGS, PRINTS AND MINIATURES

Terms used in this catalogue have the meanings ascribed to them below. Please note that all statements in this catalogue as to authorship are made subject to the provisions of the Conditions of Sale and authenticity warranty. Buyers are advised to inspect the property themselves. Written condition reports are usually available on request.

The date given for Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints is the date (or approximate date when prefixed with ‘circa’) on which the matrix was worked and not necessarily the date when the impression was printed or published. *This term and its definition in this Explanation of Cataloguing Practice are a qualified statement as to authorship. While the use of this term is based upon careful study and represents the opinion of specialists, Christie’s and the seller assume no risk, liability and responsibility for the authenticity of authorship of any lot in this catalogue described by this term, and the Authenticity Warranty shall not be available with respect to lots described using this term.

POST 1950 FURNITURE

All items of post-1950 furniture included in this sale are items either not originally supplied for use in a private home or now offered solely as works of art. These items may not comply with the provisions of the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended in 1989 and 1993, the “Regulations”). Accordingly, these items should not be used as furniture in your home in their current condition. If you do intend to use such items for this purpose, you must first ensure that they are reupholstered, restuffed and/or recovered (as appropriate) in order that they comply with the provisions of the Regulations.These will vary by department.

IMPORTANT NOTICES AND EXPLANATION OF CATALOGUING PRACTICE (CONTINUED) ALL DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHTS ARE APPROXIMATE ONLY

TO PROSPECTIVE BUYERS OF CLOCKS AND WATCHES

REGARDING IMPORTATION OF WATCHES INTO THE US

CONDITION

The description of the condition of clocks and watches in this catalogue, including references to defects and repairs, is provided as a service to prospective buyers, but such description is not necessarily complete. While Christie’s will furnish a condition report on any lot to a prospective purchaser upon request, any such report may also be incomplete and may not specify all mechanical replacements or defects. Accordingly, all clocks and watches should be viewed personally by prospective buyers to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale. All lots are sold “as is,” and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Virtually all clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal useful lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, Christie’s makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. Watches are not always illustrated life size, buyers should refer to the catalogue description for the dimensions of each watch. It should be noted that most wristwatches with waterresistant cases have been opened to identify type and quality of movement. It cannot be assumed that the watches are still waterproof and purchasers are advised to have the watches checked by a competent watch-maker before use. Please note that gold of less than 18ct. does not qualify in all countries as ‘gold’ and may be refused import. Christie’s cannot accept liability if import is refused. Please note that all Rolex watches in the Christie’s sale catalogue are sold as viewed and that Christie’s cannot guarantee the authenticity of any individual component part of these Rolex watches. The bracelets described as “associated” are not part of the original piece and may not be authentic. Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves by personal inspection as to the condition of each Lot. Condition reports can be requested from Christie’s and are given ‘without prejudice’ in accordance with the terms of the conditions of sale and limited warranty printed in the back of the catalogue. Nevertheless, such reports are for general guidance only and will not specify all mechanical replacements or imperfections. Such reports will, of necessity, be subjective. Buyers are advised that certificates are not available unless otherwise stated. As collectors’ watches often contain extremely fine and complex mechanisms, buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.

Prospective buyers should be aware that the importation of Rolex watches into the United States is highly restricted. These watches (not limited to Rolex) may not be shipped into the USA and can only be imported personally. Generally, a buyer may import only one watch into the USA. In this catalogue, these watches have been marked with a Φ. It is the buyer’s responsibility to determine whether there are any import restrictions and to comply with such restrictions. The failure by Christie’s to mark a lot with a Φ shall not constitute grounds to rescind or cancel a sale. For further information please contact our specialists in charge of the sale.

Christie’s catalogues include references to condition only in descriptions of multiple works (such as prints, books and wine). For all other property, only alterations or replacement components are listed. Please contact the Specialist Department for a condition report on a particular lot. The nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or repair. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry will not amount to a full description of condition. Condition reports are usually available on request, and will supplement the catalogue description. In describing lots, our staff assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the item and the nature of the auction in which it is included. Any statement as to the physical nature or condition of a lot, in a catalogue, condition report or otherwise, is given honestly and with appropriate care. However, Christie’s staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators and accordingly any such statement will not be exhaustive. We therefore recommend that you always view property personally, and, particularly in the case of any items of significant value, that you instruct your own restorer or other professional adviser to report to you in advance of bidding.

REGARDING COLOURED STONES Prospective buyers are reminded that many coloured gemstones have historically been treated to enhance their appearance. Certain enhancement methods, such as heating, are commonly used to improve both colour or transparency, particularly in rubies and sapphires. Other methods, such as oiling, enhance the clarity of emeralds. These methods have been generally accepted by the international jewellery trade. Although heat enhancement of colour is widely believed to be permanent, it may have some impact on the durability of the gemstone and special care of the stone may be required over time. For example, gemstones which have been oiled may require re-oiling after a period of years to retain their maximum appearance. It is Christie’s policy to obtain gemmological reports from internationally recognised gemmological laboratories describing certain gemstones sold by Christie’s. The availability of such reports will be disclosed in the catalogue. Reports from American gemmological laboratories used by Christie’s will disclose any heat enhancement or treatment. European gemmological laboratory reports will disclose heat enhancement only if specifically requested but will confirm when no heat enhancement or treatment has been made. Because of variations in approach and technology there may not be consensus among laboratories as to whether any particular gemstone has been treated, the extent of treatment and whether treatment is permanent. It is not feasible for Christie’s to obtain a gemmological report for each gemstone offered by Christie’s. Prospective buyers should be aware that all gemstones may have been enhanced by some method. For further details, prospective buyers in the United States are referred to the information chart prepared by the Gemstones Standards Commission, available in the viewing area. Prospective buyers may request laboratory reports for any uncertified item if requests are made at least three weeks before the scheduled date of auction. This service is subject to prepayment by the requesting party. Because enhancement affects market value, Christie’s estimates will reflect the information disclosed in a report or, if no report is available, the assumption that gemstones may have been enhanced. Condition reports are usually available for all lots upon request and Christie’s specialists will be happy to answer any questions.

REGARDING THE EXPORT OF WATCH BANDS INCORPORATING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED SPECIES Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue have bands which may be made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile and which may not lawfully be exported from the sale site without a CITES export permit. As explained above, these lots are marked with the symbol (~) in the catalogue. Accordingly, for purchased watches that are to be shipped out of the sale site for delivery, Christie’s will need to remove and retain the band before shipping the watch and buckle.

REGARDING ESTIMATED WEIGHTS Certain weights in the catalogue have been estimated through measurement. These figures are to be used as approximate guidelines and should not be relied upon as exact.

LOTS OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE Please note that all lots highlighted with red titles in this sale are offered ‘Without Reserve’. These items will be sold to the highest bidder, regardless of the pre-sale estimate printed in the catalogue. We hope that you will find this visual presentation helpful.

AUTHENTICITY CERTIFICATES As certain manufacturers may not issue certificates of authenticity, Christie’s has no obligation to furnish a buyer with a certificate of authenticity from the manufacturer, except where specifically noted in the catalogue. Unless Christie’s is satisfied that it should cancel the sale in accordance with the Limited Warranty provided in the Conditions of Sale, the failure of a manufacturer to issue a certificate will not constitute grounds for cancellation of the sale.

PROPERTY INCORPORATING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED AND OTHER PROTECTED SPECIES Property made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~ in the catalogue. Such material includes, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whale bone and certain species of coral, together with Brazilian rosewood. Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit altogether the importation of property containing such materials, and that other countries require a permit (e.g., a CITES permit) from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. Accordingly, clients should familiarise themselves with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on any property with wildlife material if they intend to import the property into another country. For example, the U.S. generally prohibits the importation of articles containing species that it has designated as endangered or threatened if those articles are less than 100 years old. Please note that it is the client’s responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations applying to the export or import of property containing endangered and other protected wildlife material. The inability of a client to export or import property containing endangered and other protected wildlife material is not a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale. Please note also that lots containing potentially regulated wildlife material are marked as a convenience to our clients, but Christie’s does not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species. 24/10/16

The auctioneer may vary the increments during the course of the auction at his or her own discretion. 1. I request Christie’s to bid on the stated lots up to the maximum bid I have indicated for each lot. 2. I understand that if my bid is successful the amount payable will be the sum of the hammer price and the buyer’s premium (together with any applicable state or local sales or use taxes chargeable on the hammer price and buyer’s premium) in accordance with the Conditions of Sale— Buyer’s Agreement).

I agree to be bound by the Conditions of Sale printed in the catalogue. 4. I understand that if Christie’s receive written bids on a lot for identical amounts and at the auction these are the highest bids on the lot, Christie’s will sell the lot to the bidder whose written bid it received and accepted first. 5. Written bids submitted on “no reserve” lots will, in the absence of a higher bid, be executed at approximately 50% of the low estimate or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low estimate. I understand that Christie’s written bid service is a free service provided for clients and that, while Christie’s will be as careful as it reasonably can be, Christie’s will not be liable for any problems with this service or loss or damage arising from circumstances beyond Christie’s reasonable control.
