“Love is the only gold” – Alfred, Lord Tennyson

As Valentine’s Day approaches, Reeman Dansie presents a delightful selection of romantic treasures in the Fine Art Sale, 3rd–4th February.

Hearts abound, from the enchanting Edwardian diamond, pearl and enamel brooch (lot 445) and a charming heart-shaped amethyst pendant (lot 406) to a sparkling heart-shaped brilliant-cut diamond ring (lot 520). Rich in symbolism, the sale also features serpentine jewels representing eternal love (lots 401 and 475), ivy motifs for fidelity and loyalty, and turquoise jewels inspired by the forget-me-not (lot 457).

Romance continues in the picture section, where lots 1137 and 1159 perfectly capture the Victorian love of sentiment and romance.

For clients unable or not wishing to attend our sale we are happy to accept absentee bids. Absentee bids can either be left in person with our office team, phoned or emailed to us. We simply require lot numbers and descriptions and the maximum bid which you wish to leave. Absentee bids are then transferred to our auction pages and the auctioneer will bid on your behalf. If the lot can be purchased at a lower price than your maximum bid our auctioneers will always endeavour to work in your interest to purchase the lot for you as cheaply as other bids will allow. If the same bid is left by two people on a lot we will precedence to the bidder who leaves the bid first.
