Lady Glenconner, My Life in Objects
Bonhams is delighted to offer Lady Glenconner: My Life in Objects, a selection of highlights from the personal collection of Lady Glenconner. From being Maid of Honour at the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and, later, Lady in Waiting to her childhood friend Princess Margaret, to hosting rockstars on her husband's private island of Mustique, Lady Glenconner has lived an extraordinary life. Through this carefully curated selection of lots her story of royalty, glamour, and a roller-coaster marriage is told. Lots include Old Master heirlooms, to a gold Cartier box gifted to Lady Glenconner by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and a ballgown worn to the legendary Peacock Ball on Mustique. Of the sale, Lady Glenconner says: I have had such great pleasure living with these wonderful objects, each telling their own fascinating story and I am delighted that they will soon be going on to new homes, and their stories will enter a new chapter. Sold alongside this collection is A Farquhar Legacy, a family collection which has passed down through the generations. Sir Walter Rockcliffe Farquhar (1810-1900) was a senior partner at the private bank Herries, Farquhar & Co. which was noted for pioneering circular notes (the precursor to the traveller's cheque) and for becoming leading financiers to Britain's aristocracy and gentry. Following the Napoleonic Wars, the bank invested in French bonds and is thought to have established connections with Napoleon III, also known as Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. According to family tradition, the deposed Emperor was accommodated by the Farquhar family at their London residence in Eaton Square, before moving to lodgings in St James's Street. It is reputed that, unable to repay the loan by conventional means, Napoleon III presented the family, in gratitude for their safe haven, with valuables from prominent French royal palaces.

Accuracy in descriptions and in authenticity confidence.
Since I trust Bonhams for accuracy and authenticity presentation, my only concern was shipping arrangements. Their site directed me to choose from a list, & The UPS store that I chose, was very attentive to my needs.
