A Celebration of Antique Jewellery

For more than six decades, Anne Schofield has been a distinguished figure in the world of antique jewellery, celebrated for her remarkable knowledge, discerning eye and unwavering passion for the artistry and history of jewels. From her early days exploring the antique dealers of London's Portobello Road and Bond Street to her iconic premises on Queen Street, Woollahra, Anne has devoted her career to discovering and sharing extraordinary pieces from across the centuries. Leonard Joel is delighted to present a special single-owner auction celebrating Anne's remarkable career and the closing of a significant chapter in Sydney's antique jewellery history. The collection reflects a lifetime of curiosity, scholarship and appreciation for exceptional craftsmanship, bringing together jewels and objects of vertu spanning diverse periods, cultures and artistic traditions. Gracing the cover of this catalogue is an astonishing mid-18th-century coque de perle necklace (Lot 359), a beautiful example of the ingenuity and artistry of jewellers of the period. Equally remarkable is a rare peacock-blue paste demi parure (Lot 358), dating to the same era. Both are remarkable survivors from an era when such elaborate adornments were at the height of fashion. Their preservation offers a fascinating glimpse into the origins of costume jewellery and the elegance of 18th-century society. Of particular significance is a selection of rare cameos and intaglios (Lots 321–329), a field of collecting especially close to Anne's heart. These intricately carved gems, steeped in classical mythology and ancient traditions, demonstrate the extraordinary skill of generations of craftsmen and the enduring fascination with the civilisations of Greece and Rome. For the gentleman or lady who seemingly has everything, an impressive amethyst and gold letter opener (Lot 350) presents a truly distinctive gift, offering a charming reminder of an age when even the most practical objects could be transformed into works of art. What unites this diverse collection is Anne's appreciation for beauty, originality and craftsmanship, whether found in an elaborate jewel, an unusual material or an object whose history remains something of a mystery. Each piece has been chosen with the curiosity and knowledge of a collector who has spent a lifetime exploring the stories that jewellery can tell. It is a privilege for Leonard Joel to present this collection, offering both established enthusiasts and a new generation of collectors the opportunity to acquire pieces personally selected by Anne throughout her remarkable career, each reflecting her discerning eye, exceptional knowledge and lifelong passion for antique jewellery. lauren boustridge Head of Fine Jewels & Timepieces Sydney
