Jewellery boxes are essential boxes that are used to store jewellery and to maintain a collection of jewels safely. Right from the past, royal families and high-class women have used jewellery boxes to keep their jewels and precious stones carefully. These jewellery boxes were usually very well crafted, decked with precious stones and were almost as expensive as the jewels themselves! Jewellery has always been regarded as items of high value and hence, the need to accord a means of storage that honors its importance and adds to its value was always present. A jewellery box to the jewels it contained can be likened, to the throne upon which sat the king!

Bonhams & Goodman has acquired the goodwill of Sydney-based auction house Stanley & Co., which was founded by the respected auctioneer Dalia Stanley in 1990. Dalia Stanley will join the firm as a Senior Specialist on 1st November. This is being seen as the beginning of a rationalisation of the Australian auction industry; in June, Bonhams & Goodman announced its merger with Theodore Bruce of Adelaide, Australia’s oldest auction house, which was established in 1878.

Bonhams & Goodman was established in September 2003 when Australian auctioneers Goodmans joined the Bonhams group of companies.

The hand-picked selection from the WilliamsF1’s reserve collection is to be sold by Bonhams at the WilliamsF1 HQ in Grove, Oxfordshire on December 14th. It is home to one of the world’s foremost private collections of Formula One cars, tracing the seminal moments in the team’s history over the last 28 years. The collection is housed in a purpose-built interactive museum, which opened three years ago. There are now plans to consolidate the museum displays, so the reserve collection is now for sale.

Highlights will include the Williams Honda FW10B in which Nigel Mansell won his first Grand Prix at Brands Hatch in 1985, and the FW14B in which he won six Grands Prix on his way to the World Championship in 1992.

WilliamsF1’s Team Principal, Frank Williams, said: “I am delighted our long-standing policy of retaining our race cars allows us to both maintain a world-class museum collection and release some race cars with impeccable provenance from our Reserve collection to private collectors. In addition to the 20 race cars, there are some interesting additional items such as Renault Clio Williams chassis no 0001 and around one hundred other items which I hope will make the sale of great interest”
