This is the sale catalogue of The Jewels of the late Duchess of Windsor sold for the Benefit of the Pasteur Institute, 2-3 April 1987 in Geneva, Switzerland. Book is in English. 306 lots. First Edition, with numerous fine coloured and monochrome photographs and reproductions throughout, green cloth, upper board and backstrip lettered in gilt, patterned endpapers, yellow silk marker, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. In 1987 Sothebys Geneva offered for sale the perhaps most anticipated collection of jewellery of the century; the collection of the late Duchess Of Windsor, formerly Wallis Simpson, the woman for whom King Edward VIII renounced the British throne and Empire in 1936. This exquisite catalogue details much more than the incredible jewels which reflected the depth of Edward's love for Wallis; it is actually a fully researched hardback presentation of their fascinating story. A never to be repeated or reprinted opportunity to see Wallis's entire collection (later sales contained far fewer items) and many items belonging to the Duke. Of interest to historians, Royalists and fashion experts as much as jewellers and designers, this is a remarkable volume. We pack our books properly and ship daily from the UK.…
