AUCTION DETAILS
Zoomorphic themes have been a popular artistic theme since antiquity, initially used for their talismanic properties and as personifications of ancient gods. Terriers represent fidelity; frogs stand in for marital bliss, and the serpent ‘ouroboros’ mean eternity. This sale features an array of animal-themed jewels, employed for their decorative value, from Cartier terriers and turtles to Graff koalas and squirrels from the 1920s to the present.
