"Amazing 19th century tiara from the Collection of Marylou Whitney, in silver-topped gold with more than 1,900 old mine, old European, pear, single and rose-cut diamonds and ruby accents. Purchased in 1952 from Harry Winston, who stated the tiara to be from the Collection of Empress Elisabeth (Sisi) of Austria"
I think that's basically Sothebys way of saying we can't prove it.
Mr Beverett comments later amongst his messages to his followers that the tiara is being sold with an estimate of $100-200k, which I think is very low and suggests that they haven't been able to identify any firm connection to the Empress.
