The Jewels of the Duchess of Windsor by John Culme & Nicholas Rayner (Book)
About the Item
In this beautiful book, an enduring record of the most remarkable jewellery sale of our time, each piece of the Windsor collection is fully described not only in gemological terms but also in relation to the lives of the celebrated couple. Illustrations of the Jewellery, all in colour, are accompanied by photographs of the Duchess wearing the jewel, the images chosen from the archives of Cecil Beaton, Horst, Karsh of Ottawa and others. In his introduction, Nicholas Rayner, the Sotheby's expert who organised the sale, describes the influence the Windsors had on a craft that was still at its peak, carried on by Parisian mounters and finishers whose work rivalled that of their predecessors in St. Petersburg. 224 pages. 1760 grams. Text in English.
