RAPAPORT... Christie’s will auction personal pieces from the late
entertainer Joan Rivers’ New York penthouse in June, including jewelry designed
by Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Harry Winston.
Items
including decorative arts, paintings, fine French furniture and Fabergé will be
auctioned in the U.S. city in June 22, while a separate online auction running
June 16 to 23 will feature fashion and jewelry.
More
than 200 lots will be offered in the live sales and about 80 in the online
auction, Christie’s said in a statement March 8.
Objects
up for auction include a jeweled nephrite study of a Lily of the Valley leaf by
Fabergé, estimated at $200,000 to $300,000, and a silver Tiffany water bowl
engraved “for Spike,” a reference to Rivers’
dog, estimated at $500 to $800.
Rivers died in
September 2014 at the age of 81.
