DALLAS — The November 12 auction of Fine Silver & Objects of Vertu, conducted by Heritage Auctions, included 373 lots and realized $1.44 million. Spanning centuries and styles of craftmanship, the sale included objects by makers such as Peter Bentzon, Tiffany & Company, Georg Jensen and more. Earning the highest price was a pair of Paul Storr silver wine coolers from 1817, each of fluted baluster form bearing the coat of arms of Charles Chetwynd-Talbot (1777-1849), Second Earl Talbot, Knight of the Garter (installed 1812). The wine coolers had detachable rims with shell and scroll boarders as well as removable silver liners, all with engraved crown and lion crests. Measuring 8¾ inches tall by 11¼ inches from handle to handle each, the pair left the property of a Hancock Park, Los Angeles, collector and found a buyer for $87,500. Prices reported include the buyer’s premium. Further highlights will be featured in a future issue.
