Press Room
Timeless Beauty: Heritage's Nov. 12 Silver Auction Celebrates Craftsmanship Across Centuries Paul Storr's English hollowware, Odiot's 'Grimaldi' dinner service, a rare Tiffany & Co. tea set and the creations of Stephen O'Meara are just a few of the highlights in the fall event From timeless classics to bold modern design, Heritage’s Nov. 12 Fine Silver & Objects of Vertu Signature® Auction brings together exceptional silver spanning eras and continents. Leading the auction is a 618-piece Grimaldi pattern partial vermeil silver flatware service from Maison Odiot. Representing a grand undertaking by the renowned Parisian firm, the monumental ensemble, which dates to circa 1900, includes flatware service for 24 and banquet service for 96. Executed in the Pearls pattern, it was later renamed Grimaldi after the royal family selected the design, which underscores both the dynastic associations of the pattern and the enduring appeal of neoclassical motifs in French decorative arts. The combination of sterling silver and vermeil enriches the ensemble, with gilding reserved for serving implements and select presentation pieces. Meanwhile, the scale of the service reflects the elaborate dining practices of elite households at the turn of the 20th century and the role of silver as a visible marker of wealth and social standing. “Large Odiot services are known but seldom remain intact,” says Karen Rigdon, Vice President of Fine Silver & Decorative Arts at Heritage Auctions. “Many have been divided or reduced over time, making this 618-piece service an unusually extensive and well-preserved survival. It stands as a testament to Odiot’s enduring reputation for excellence and the continued reverence for French craftsmanship at the dawn of the 20th century.” The auction features a number of works by famed English silversmith Paul Storr, highlighted by a fine pair of silver wine coolers from 1817. The wine coolers, each of fluted baluster form, sit on four scrolled wave feet, the furl leading to leafed oak branches with acorns and foliate scroll bracket handles. Each wine cooler also bears the coat of arms of Charles Chetwynd-Talbot (1777-1849), 2nd Earl Talbot, Knight of the Garter (installed 1812). Read the full press release
Bidding Notes
Web Tips How to use HA.com Website Bidding Tutorial
New: Financing Now Available Heritage now offers extended payment plan options up to 6 months to qualified clients on select items. See more details here.
Bid Protection Bid Protection allows you to ensure you are not outbid by automatically increasing your bid to the next full increment if you are outbid during the live event. This protects you from being "sniped" by a single increment. Bid Protection can be entered on all items except the current lot and the next upcoming lot in a Live Auction. Note: The extra increment won't be placed until the item is up for live bidding, so it is possible that you could be outbid by a bid placed prior to live bidding, such as another proxy bid, live proxy bid, mail bid, etc., which could result in your losing the lot by that one increment. For the same reason, it is also possible that a currently losing bid with bid protection placed could potentially win the lot once the lot is subject to live bidding and the Bid Protection increment(s) is placed.
Buyer's premium A Buyer's Premium is charged in addition to the successful bid. The applicable Buyer's Premium for bids placed with Heritage for this Auction is 25% of the successful bid (minimum $49) per lot..
Heritage Live! allows you to place late proxy bids and compete live against the auction floor from your PC or mobile device*. We recommend placing proxy bids before the live session in the unlikely event either side experiences technical problems during the auction. Note: Proxy bidding ends ten minutes prior to the session start time. Live Proxy bidding on Heritage Live now starts within 2 hours of when the auction opens for proxy bidding and continues through the live session.
