Overview

This year’s edition of the Of Royal and Noble Descent will once again present fascinating heirlooms from aristocratic international families as well as objects related to noble and historical figures; from a replica set of the British Crown Jewels – ordered on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation - to an important set of twenty-four Berlin (K.P.M.) porcelain plates painted with scenes from Goethe's Faust, amongst several lots of exceptional Furniture, Paintings and Decorative Arts.
 
Within the sale, a Princely Collection inspired by “Nelson, Trafalgar and the British Maritime Tradition” presents an impressive array of historically important pieces related to the great Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson and Duke of Bronté, including an exceptionally large fragment of the flag flown from HMS Victory, a portrait of Emma Hamilton as Sybil by Gavin Hamilton, and John Wilson Carmichael’s  “The Opening Engagement at Trafalgar”.
