The Spectacular Lifetime Collection Estate of a Newport Beach Doyenne

How do I begin to describe what is for me, one of the most exciting, beautiful sales I have ever conducted. I have conducted thousands of sales in my twenty-six years of business, but this sale is undoubtedly one of the highlights of my career. I am so honored to have been chosen to represent this important bi-coastal American family.

I am often asked by families such as this one "What is it about your services that make what you so sought after and superior to anyone else in the business." My answers are always the same:

1.  We represent only the finest. In the last year alone we have brokered modern art from Warhol, Calder, Kelly, Haring, Smith, Dehner, and Nevelson, classic paintings from Edgar Payne, Cortes, and Pissarro, as well as iconic jewelry from Tiffany, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels – many of which made covers of auction magazines and fetched record prices.

2. We are client centered so we listen to the needs of our clients and formulate a plan that best suits them. 

3. Our years of experience means our research and due diligence leave nothing to chance. 

4. Nobody does what we do or has the buyers, relationships or decades of experience we have. 

5. Our events are by invitation only creating a compelling, safe environment for clients and customers.

From decades exhibiting at the country's finest shows, traveling to Europe and Asia, studying at Christies in New York, we offer the depth and breadth of knowledge that is unsurpassed. Our style and approach may not be for everyone, but if you are looking to maximize value on significant personal property including jewelry, fine art, bronzes, important silver and decorative arts, nobody can match what we offer as a solution.  Frankly, we have no competition. It is why the educated, cultured, prominent families of Southern California such as our current client choose us to represent them. We conduct the finest private and brokered sales in Newport, from the Bayfront to the exclusive coastal enclaves to Big Canyon and beyond. We are Southern California's top broker of luxury and have handled more significant fine art, jewelry and decorative arts than anyone else, ever. Please let your family, friends and colleagues know we are here to help them.

  Now…on to our current endeavor!!

This sale, its collections, the sheer volume and breadth of each exquisitely curated collection will make your heart stop...just for a moment...then you will delight and revel in the beauty of an estate of a sophisticated, well- travelled socialite doyenne of the old school...when manners were manners, when people knew how to entertain, when subtlety and joie de vivre was what mattered.

This sale is a journey through a bygone era of thoughtfully curated treasures collected from around the world and purchased from the finest dealers at the finest shows. I know this because I used to be one of those dealers...If you have ever shopped the Armory or Hillsborough shows or perhaps the Miami Beach Winter antique show, this is the quality of the finest dealers. Our client spent a lifetime collecting...it was her passion, pleasure and greatest joy to surround herself with beauty. The estate includes: the finest collection I have seen of rare perfume and scent bottles; a collection of compacts and boxes ranging from sterling enamel to antique Russian lacquer; Steuben crystal animals; silver and silver plate; stemware of all kinds including colored St. Louis, Waterford and Baccarat; Jay Strongwater mint in box frames and boxes; Judith Leiber boxes and compacts; a significant collection of Halcyon Days Bilston and Battersea enamel boxes, and many other treasures --we will update more on this list as we can! In addition – a magnificent collection of women's couture and designer clothing, purses and accessories including Yves St Laurent, Chanel, Nancy Gonzales, Valentino, Bottega Veneta, Carlos Falchi,  Loro Piana, Judith Leiber, and other important made by hand Italian and French designers. 

We are looking for significant buyers to purchase these important collections in their entirety. If you feel you are one of those buyers, please get in touch. The first week of appointments is reserved for our best loyal clients. As is the case with many of our sales, this home is in a gated community and access is limited. We are looking for serious buyers only who will not hesitate to spend to acquire this quality. Once we have accommodated them, we will do our best to accommodate others who wish to attend. Since the first period is reserved for our best customers, much of the inventory pictured will change. We may even have sold entire categories... this quality is so rare to find, so quick to sell as every advanced collector wishes to add to their collection. If you are reading this and wish to be added to the interest list for the second wave of appointments please email me at fred@fredrickstegmann.com

If we have never met, you will need to provide your full name, email address and a phone number to be put on the interest list to attend.  I like to know who is shopping with us. We do not share your name or information with anyone; it is our vetting process to ensure you are who you say you are and that you are a serious buyer. 
 

Finally, fine jewelry pictured will not be on site and will be sold  privately.  Jewelry includes Tiffany & Co, Roberto Coin, Ron Rizzo, Piaget, YSL, Van Cleef & Arpels, David Yurman, John Hardy, Diamonds, Coral, and select custom designed pieces. 

Thank you.
