formerly owned by a European noble family. It was the first time it had appeared
at auction, attracting interest from multiple bidders, before it eventually sold to a
telephone buyer, far exceeding its pre-sale estimate of £300,000-400,000.

£100,000 at auction
Fellows’ Fine Jewellery sale on 16 May is set to feature 13 items from Cartier, with a
total high estimate of nearly £150,000 (£141,400).
The French jewellery and watch company was founded in 1847 by Louis-François
Cartier, who operated in a Parisian jewellery workshop until it expanded to include
watches in 1874.
In 1899, Cartier moved to their current Paris address before expanding to New York and
London just a few years later. Known as one of the most popular jewellery designers in
the world, Fellows said Cartier’s pieces have been “incredibly sought after” at auction.
