Faberge & Vertu, Continental, American Silver
NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle will hold an auction of Fabergé & Vertu on Tuesday, May 23, 2023 at 10am. The sale will present a range of objects dating from the 17th century to the 20th century, including Fabergé, vertu, silver and icons.
Highlighting the auction is an important Gilt-Bronze Mounted Malachite Revolving Dial Clock (Pendule à Cercles Tournantes) made for the Demidoff family in Paris in the third quarter of the nineteenth century (est. $20,000-30,000). One of Imperial Russia's wealthiest families, the Demidoffs discovered rich seams of malachite on their estates and supplied artisans with the raw material. The clock was commissioned by either Anatole Demidoff, Prince of San Donato (1813-1870) or his nephew, Count Paul Pavlovich Demidoff, 2nd Prince of San Donato (1839-1885). Subsequently part of the collection of American financier and art collector, Charles Tyson Yerkes, Jr. (1837-1905), the clock last appeared at public auction in New York in 1912.
Featured in the auction is Property from a Westchester Collector, a diverse selection of works lovingly acquired over the course of several decades in Switzerland, London, and New York. The collection features works by Fabergé’s Moscow branch, including a Fabergé Silver-Gilt and Cloisonné Enamel Covered Box, in the original fitted case (est. $10,000-15,000), and a Fabergé Silver-Gilt and Cloisonné Enamel Kovsh (est. $8,000-12,000). A Fabergé Two-Color Gold-Mounted Jasper Gum Pot and Hand Seal, by head workmaster Michael Perchin (est. $15,000-20,000), is an example of the fine gold and lapidary work produced by the firm in St. Petersburg. Further highlights by Fabergé include a Jeweled Gold-Mounted Smoky Quartz Scent Bottle, by Michael Perchin (est. $15,000-20,000), and a large Fabergé Carved Bowenite Model of a Frog (est. $12,000-18,000).
Also featured in the May 23 auction will be English, Continental & American Silver comprising lots 88 - 241.
