Sotheby's auction of items belonging to Patricia Mountbatten Posted by Beth on February 17, 2021, 5:59 pm Slowly each day, Sotheby's is adding more items to the online catalogue of items belonging to Patricia Mountbatten, 2nd Countess Mountbatten. Some of the items will be of interest to those more interested in historical items; some of greater interest to jewellery, painting and furniture connoisseurs. As Sotheby's is updating the site regularly, it might be worthwhile bookmarking the site. Sotheby's https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/the-family-collection-of-the-late-countess-mountbatten-of-burma I have found some of the provenance chains very interesting.

Re: Lady Mountbatten’s historic jewellery box Posted by The Royal Watcher on February 18, 2021, 1:05 am, in reply to "Sotheby's auction of items belonging to Patricia Mountbatten" I find this new online format rather odd but there are quite a few beautiful jewels being sold. They shared 'a look inside Lady Mountbatten’s historic jewellery box' on Instagram, which has a few more jewels than the catalogue, including a diamond floral necklace which was worn by Lady Pamela in a portrait in the 1950s and a bracelet which probably come from the Dowager Lady Brabourne's Art Deco Parure! https://www.instagram.com/p/CLTeA7FhFwg/

Re: Lady Mountbatten’s historic jewellery box Posted by Beth on February 18, 2021, 7:41 pm, in reply to "Re: Lady Mountbatten’s historic jewellery box" I have the impression that Sotheby's is using its Instagram account to attract perspective buyers. But, overall, the firm seems a trifle slow at putting up the complete catalogue online. There are a number of magazine outlets which are advertising the additional jewellery also.

Princess Alice Mourning Jewellery Posted by Sam (The Beau Monde) on February 18, 2021, 10:37 pm, in reply to "Sotheby's auction of items belonging to Patricia Mountbatten" It would seem that Patricia Mountbatten owned several pieces of Queen Victoria's mourning jewellery. https://news.sky.com/story/queen-victorias-mourning-jewels-go-up-for-auction-for-first-time-12218942# I really hope a museum buys these, or the Royal Collection.

Re: Princess Alice Mourning Jewellery Posted by Dave on February 19, 2021, 3:52 am, in reply to "Princess Alice Mourning Jewellery " I am of similar thought Sam, only that I wish PC or even the Queen would actually secure certain items more or less privately but I gather the Queen has a very large trousseau already and need not add to same. But it would be nice for historical purposes and marinating that link with the past. Regards, Dave.
