Bijouterie and Objects of Vertu Auctions

There are many pieces in existence which are not made from precious metals, but due to their quality and workmanship they do have value. These include pens, snuff boxes, desk and other accessories, enamels, lighters, vestas and small bronzes.

Always offered for sale with the silver and jewellery sections in Harper Field’s quarterly auctions of small items of value, the bijouterie section is home to some of the most fascinating lots, many very indicative of the period to which they date and always popular with collectors.
