Description

This is a fine hardcover copy with a fine dust jacket with no wear at all. Completely clean. This is a sale catalog for an auction held at Christie's New York on April 15, 2008. Sale code: CONNOISSEUR-2121. The sale consisted of a spectacular private owner collection of jewelry and objets d'art. Francois Curiel, the senior appraiser at Christie's, said it was the finest collection of modern jewelry Christie's had ever handled. From the Gilded Age diamond bow brooch of Empress Eugenie (later owned by Mrs. William B. Astor), to Cartier's fabulous 'Mystery Clock' designed by Maurice Couet for Cartier in 1927, to the superb fancy intense pink diamond of 14.23 carats, the rarest natural wonder known to exist, this sale had it all. 115 lots in the sale. All illustrated in color. 11" high X 8" wide, 154 pages. Heavy book, foreign shipping will be extra. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
