Description

It’s strength lies in the range of splendid jewels dating from the Renaissance, a period when European jewelers combined technique, design and fantasy to create miniature works of art that have never been rivalled.’ Gutman gave up a career as a stockbroker during the Depression and subsequently became a dealer in antique jewellery, eventually becoming a widely respected authority on antique jewellery. Whilst dealing, he retained many of the best pieces he came across for his own collection, although he was always generous in loaning these to exhibitions. Condition Report Some general wear to covers and spines.
