- Compiled with full access to Christie's famous archives - Reveals the romance, drama, intrigue - even danger - attached to some of the world's most storied jewels - Expertly curating Christie's extensive archives, Vincent Meylan has drawn out the key details of each momentous sale - Stories of the world's great jewelry collections For centuries, the stories of the world's great jewelry collections have lain hidden within the archives of Christie's, the celebrated auctioneers. From the tragic European queens, Mary, Queen of Scots and Marie Antoinette - both beheaded - to Hollywood royalty such as Elizabeth Taylor, the vaults sparkle with the most famous (and occasionally notorious) names of the last 250 years. Following on from the success of his books on Boucheron: The Secret Archives, Van Cleef & Arpels: Treasures and Legends and Mellerio: Jewellers to the Queens of Europe, author Vincent Meylan explores these remarkable jewelry archives, revealing the mysteries within for the first time. Each sale had its intrigue, each its story to tell. The first auction of jewelry from the British royal family took place at Christie's in 1773, after the death of the Princess of Wales, mother of George III. As the archives reveal, in the subsequent centuries, Christie's has been party to the sale of jewelry by several further generations of British royals, from Lady Patricia Ramsay and the Countess of Southesk through to Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. And, in the wake of revolution and regicide further afield, the crown jewels of France, Russia, Bavaria, Serbia, Egypt, India and Spain were all sold at Christie's. Aside from Elizabeth Taylor, the legendary movie star collections of Merle Oberon and Gloria Swanson are also revealed here, as well as the most famous pearls and diamonds in the world; each explored within the context of their owners' remarkable lives. Expertly curating the extensive archives, Vincent Meylan has drawn out the key details of each momentous sale. Original documents from the vaults are reproduced in the book, alongside hundreds of color illustrations of the jewels and their owners.

Christies Unmasked is a really sensational story about the disclosure of the biggest London auction house Christies financial machinations. The story started from the unique Persian carpet, which, as a real state of the art, attracted such an intensity of emotions that the reader hadnt ever dreamed of. All of a sudden, the author found himself among the group of charlatans of international scale, craving to get his precious carpet into their grabby hands, but unwilling to reveal the real price of the carpet to his owner. However, our hero didnt loose himself and decided to find out everything himself. The book describes Otabeks adventures in London, the story of his love, his defeated hopes, and big disappointment in those people whom he entrusted his treasure in the beginning of his story. In his search for the truth, he had to travel around half of the world, and finally found out the real price of his carpet, thus showing up the charlatans in their true colors. However, the price which the author had to pay for the truth was too high: while he wandered around the world, his Princess got too tired of waiting and married another man? Well, such things happen from time to time and we never know who of these two men turned out to be the luckiest, after all. Our Otabek decided that such turn of events is not a reason yet to drop down his head and in a short while created his own corporation called Muboraks, named after his might-have-been Princess. At the same time, he started to work on his book, where he wrote about all his adventures. The book absolutely honestly describes all the events, saving real names, dates and facts. Its a captivating story where several genres interweave witheach other in a fancy way: adventures give place to a real detective and gradually turn into a sad story of unshared love. The book grabs readers attenti

A celebration of evolving taste, told through the stories behind 250 objects sold by the world's leading auction house Founded in London in 1766, Christie's is one of the most important auction houses in the world. During its history, Christie's has sold masterpieces by artists such as Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Vincent van Gogh, often at record-breaking prices; and, away from the world of art, the personal possessions of such well-known figures as Napoleon Bonaparte, Marilyn Monroe, Yves Saint Laurent, and Princess Diana. From furniture to works of fine and decorative art, vintage cars to clothing and jewellery, the items sold at its auctions hold a mirror to our history and reflect our culture at large. Going Once vividly brings to life the shifts in aesthetic trends, fashion, and design over the centuries, showcasing 250 of the most outstanding objects in its storied history - including some of the very first pieces sold at the auction house.
