This November, Sotheby’s is pleased to present Vienna 1900: An Imperial and Royal Collection, the most important and largest Viennese Imperial and Royal Jewellery collection ever to come to auction. With provenance from all the most prominent European royal houses linked to the Austrian Habsburg dynasty, the auction will offer an extraordinary jewellery journey through the lives of Central Europe’s most influential ruling families across the 19th and early 20th centuries. Comprising over 200 pieces, the collection resurfaces, astonishingly pristine and with all its pieces in their original design, for the first time in nearly a century, having only been recently discovered hidden away in a bank vault.
