Additional Information: Fashion design sketch by Karl Lagerfeld from the Tiziani Archives. Provenance: Estate of Tiziani | Estate of Raf Ravaioli | Private Collection, Palm Beach, FL.

In 1963, American designer Evans Richards opened a fashion house in Rome under the name Tiziani, employing Karl Lagerfeld as his fellow couturier in the firm. Their first collection was a huge success, and within a short time, faithful clients included Elizabeth Taylor, Doris Duke, Gina Lollobrigida, Principessa Borghese and many others. Mr. Lagerfeld remained with the firm until 1969. The bulk of the Tiziani Estate sketches and memorabilia offered in this auction derive from that remarkable collaboration along with other lots from the succeeding period when Guy Douvier had replaced Mr. Lagerfeld.

The Karl Lagerfeld drawings will be displayed for preview one week prior to the auction with doors open Mon.-Fri. 10am-5pm ET. SHIPPING NOTATION: We will be pleased to offer in-house shipping within the Continental US on pieces purchased in this auction.

A Partial Set Of Sterling Flatware:

59 Pieces in the same set of Sterling 1924 Flatware.
This set consists of 12 sugar spoons, 6 soup spoons, 6 pickle forks, 10 dessert/salad forks, 8 dinner forks, 8 knives, 6 butter knives, and 3 various size serving spoons. Obviously a set of 6 can be found with this set with extras in certain pieces. All are marked with a Hallmark (see photo images) and “Sterling Pat. 1924”, the Knives are marked with a hallmark and “Sterling Handle Pat. 1924” Total weight of all pieces combined is 4lbs or 58.3 troy ounces less the extra weight for the non silver part of the knives. We have calculated the set at approximately 53.5 troy counces of silver. With the price of silver melt value around $28 per troy ounce and the “Sterling” value at about 87% of pure silver the melt value would be about $1330 for this entire lot, simply for the melt down value and not including the use value. This nice set is certainly worth more than the melt value as its in very nice condition and would be a nice addition to any household.

Condition
Unless otherwise noted we find no significant condition concerns except for normal age related wear for the age of these items.

Sterling Silver Betsy Patterson Pattern Flatware Set:

57 Pieces of STEIFF Sterling Flatware in the same pattern plus 2 sterling cups.
This beautifully ENGRAVED set was named the “Betsy Patterson” pattern and designed by Gideon N. Steiff. It came plain or engraved and this is the engraved set. This pattern was in production from 1932-1979. The lot consists of 12 sugar spoons, 12 Desert/Salad Forks, 12 Dinner knives, 12 Dinner Forks, 6 Soup Spoons, 1 Serving Spoon, 1 Serving Fork, and 1 Ladle, marked “Sterling-Steiff-Reg. on each piece. The lot also includes two small measuring or liquor sterling silver cups, marked Sterling on the bottom. The total weight of the entire lot is 7lbs which equates to approx. 102 troy ounces.With the current spot price at approximately $28 per ounce for pure silver and taking into account that these pieces are Sterling 925 and the that the knives handles are the only Sterling part of the knives the total spot weight is about 92 troy ounces at 88% silver melt value the melt value is approximately $2250.00 for this entire lot. Keeping in mind that this evaluation is simply for the melt down value and not including the use value. These pieces are a very desireable set and the value should be considerably higher than the melt down value when considering what to bid. “Elizabeth (Betsy) Patterson Bonaparte was a native of Baltimore, married the brother of Emperor Napoleon, (later divorced) and a socialite in Baltimore society. Her story is well worth googling. Several movies about her life were made in the early 20th century”, history of Betsy was taken from the Steiff company. Excellent condition with only age related wear and no Monograms.
