I MPORTANT N OTICE TO J EWELLERY B UYERS

Prospective buyers should note that although every effort is made to note repairs, restoration and damage in the catalogue descriptions, a lack of any such note should not be taken to imply that the lot is in perfect condition.

All weights stated in the catalogue are approximate only, these figures are for reference only and prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the accuracy.

Prospective buyers are reminded that coloured gemstones have historically been treated to enhance their appearance. A variety of methods have been, and are currently used to improve both transparency and colour of various gemstones.

The International Jewellery Trade generally accept these methods.

It is not possible for Halls to obtain gemmological reports on all stones offered for sale and therefore all Halls Auctioneer’s estimates assume that gemstones have been enhanced.

Sale Report – 20th October 2010

The presence of fine diamonds, thoroughbred horses and exciting amounts of money usually means a day at the races but the 20th October 2010 was auction day at Halls Fine Art and what a day! House records were broken, departmental records were broken and the sale total of £685,000 was the best ever seen by the fine art division in the company’s one hundred and fifty year history. If proof were needed that regional auctioneering is alive and well, the market is buoyant and the internet has come of age as a marketing tool, then this day provided it in spades.

Successful sales, unfortunately, do not catalogue and sell themselves and the hard work leading up to so many impressive results was undertaken by the Halls team in their usual understated but efficient way and was headlined on this occasion by Christina Trevanion in the jewellery department and William Lacey in the paintings department. Jewellery and silver led the charge bolstered by a privately consigned Shropshire collection of fine diamonds.The star lot in this section was an important two stone diamond necklace designed as two pear shaped diamonds each claw set and weighing 4.11 carats and 4.96 carats respectively with D colour and clarity VS2. In diamond terms, this is very nearly as good as it gets and the estimate of £50,000/70,000 was a good indication of the potential of these stones with pre-sale interest from London and New York.The telephone lines were all booked and the bidding, slow at first, soon escalated to £70,000 and on up to £118,000 tendered by the London diamond trade.The first record of the day was broken with a new high for the jewellery department.

The diamond collection continued to sparkle. A pair of Art Deco diamond set drop earrings each designed as four graduated old cut diamonds again with good colour and clarity topped an estimate of £20,000/30,000 to sell to the London trade for £32,000.The same money also bought an impressive Victorian emerald and diamond necklace designed as sixteen emerald and diamond clusters joined by diamond set scroll links and all suspending a further emerald and diamond cluster detachable drop.This would certainly have looked good at the races.

Compared to these results, the swathe of four figure but equally impressive hammer prices for the rest of the collection might almost look pedestrian. Not so. An emerald and diamond cluster ring with a central oval emerald surrounded by ten old cut diamonds took £7,200 (estimate £4,000/6,000), a Butler and Wilson sapphire and diamond ring quadrupled estimate to bring £5,100 and an Art Deco diamond and pearl set bracelet changed hands for £4,300 (estimate £2,000/3,000).

Any auctioneer would have been happy to conclude the sale at this point, but, helped by a thoroughbred horse, the day just got better. Painted

by John Wootton (1682-1764), leading horse painter to the aristocracy in the eighteenth century, this particular animal was an Arabian, or ‘bloody shouldered Arabian’ on account of the flash of dark red colouring just below his neck.The horse in the picture once belonged to the Earl of Oxford and had been consigned from a Worcestershire vendor in its original untouched condition. Although the picture required re-lining and had a small hole in the canvas, the estimate of £30,000/50,000 may have appeared conservative given that some Wootton horses have made six figure sums at auction in the past.This horse, it seemed, was destined for a similar result with the bidding starting at £25,000 and climbing to £38,000 in the room before being taken on by two determined telephone bidders, past a quarter of a million and on upwards to £326,000 offered by a private London bidder.This price broke two more records for Halls- highest price paid for an oil painting and the house record of £180,000 set when the company sold a Pugin table back in 1997.

It may be a long time before Halls Fine Art can top the thrills of “Twenty Ten Ten”.
