Sotheby’s Scores with Royal Tiara in Geneva
RAPAPORT. A royal tiara “tried on” over 22,000 times on Instagram sold for more than $1 million at Sotheby’s on Tuesday, making it one of the top-grossing lots at the Geneva auction.
The headpiece, which became Sotheby’s most popular augmented-reality filter on social media, brought in $1.6 million just over its high estimate at the May 11 Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels sale. That price is one of the highest paid at auction for a tiara in recent years, Sotheby’s said Tuesday. In total, the auction garnered $56 million.
Purchased by a private Asian buyer, the diamond and pearl tiara had most likely been presented to Maria Vittoria dal Pozzo on her marriage to Amadeo I of Savoy, duke of Aosta, who later became the king of Spain.
