Following grant of probate, we can arrange for the sale of some or all of the contents of a property either via auction or a private sale.

I discovered this pair of Castellani bracelets on a routine probate valuation in Hove, amongst a group of costume jewellery. The family had no idea what they were or where they had come from. Fortunately I knew exactly what they were and entered them into a Bonhams auction where they sold today for £30,000 plus buyer’s premium. Made circa 1865 in a Byzantine style they are set with sugarloaf and cabochon sapphires and each is marked on the reverse with the interlocking CC mark. . . #castellani #caetani #byzantinerevival #giuliano #antiquejewellery #antiquejewelry #probatevaluations #nicholasmuston #antiquevaluations
