Auction Highlights

Sotheby’s presents a rare opportunity to acquire part of one of the most carefully and beautifully curated jewellery collections in the United Kingdom. This spectacular collection was built up over many years, each piece prudently acquired and a testament to the eye of its discerning collector. The collection contains vibrant gem-set brooches depicting the natural world, as well as decadent topaz parures from the 19th century. It demonstrates a timeline of tastes and fashions in jewellery history, with the changes in gemstones and style which can almost be plotted with the movements of the world. Sotheby’s is proud to present this important Noble collection of jewellery in the Royal and Noble sale.

Our Royal and Noble sale is where we bring together rare and beautiful items that tell a story. Throughout history, the nobility have played a leading role in artistic patronage and creating rich, layered collections of exquisite artwork. Fascinating pieces of furniture, decorative art and paintings come together with collections from the great English country houses Fonmon Castle and Glemham Hall. To round off the auction, an extensive collection of jewellery from a noble collection brings together a dazzling array of pieces from the 19th century onwards.
