Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. The Jewels of the Duchess of Windsor; by John Culme and Nicholas Rayner; Thames and Hudson in association with Sotheby's, London, 1987. From the blurb Half a century after their romance rocked the English throne, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor hit the front pages throughout the world once again when Sotheby's announced that it would be selling the Duchess's priceless collection of jewels. This sumptuous book an enduring record of the most remarkable jewelry sale of recent times offers intimate glimpses into the lives of this astonishing couple. The jewels were more than simply expressions of affection. They were chosen by a man brought up among fine works of art, who had a critical eye for quality. The Duke of Windsor was a leader of fashion himself and spent many hours in the pre-war years with such eminent designers as Jeanne Toussaint of Cartier and Rene Puissant of Van Cleef & Arpels. And the lady for whom the jewels were destined was elegance personified the favourite client of Chanel, Schiaparelli, Balmain and Givenchy. For thirty years, the Duchess was hailed as the world's best-dressed woman, and her influence on the choice and design of the Duke's gifts influenced the taste of countless others. Every piece in her collection is fully described in this volume, both in gemmological terms and in relation to its place in the royal romance. The lavish colour illustrations are accompanied by contemporary photographs, by Cecil Beaton, Horst and others of the Duchess wearing her jewels. In his introduction, Nicholas Rayner, the Sotheby's expert who organized the auction, re-lives the excitement of the sale in Geneva, where he rich and famous drove one piece after another to record prices some of the jewels fetching over one hundred times their estimated value. John Culme of Sotheby's contributes an illustrated biography of the Duke and Duchess that tells the story behind many of the jewels in the collection. From the first inscribed enamel frame given by Queen Victoria to her great-grandchild, through the priceless emerald engagement ring bought at Cartier in London, to the jewelry bought in Palm Beach and Nassau, a love story comes to life in this magnificent volume, which will be treasured by all enthusiasts of fashion, jewelry, royalty, history and romance.
