Renaissance Revival Long Chain Sells for $402,000.
Skinner’s March auction of Fine Jewelry grossed $1,768,021.00, achieving near the sale’s high estimate despite the current economic conditions and uncertainty in the marketplace. A number of the top selling lots came to Skinner from the family of William and Henry Walters, who established Baltimore’s Waters Art Museum. The star of the show was a stunning Renaissance Revival long chain (lot 530) which sold for $402,000. It was estimated at $75/$125,000. Skinner’s next auction of Fine Jewelry will be held in June 2009. Come and be dazzled.
