Emily Gladstone, Fine Art specialist: ‘This painting, with its warm hues, has me dreaming of the long days of summer, which are thankfully right with us.’
Emily Shwajlyk, Decorative Arts specialist: ‘This idealised European view of a Native American is a lovely example of early American art. It would have been used for advertising purposes in the early 20th century.’
Victoria Tudor, Asian Works of Art and Jewellery specialist: ‘I love these Boucheron ear clips with their textured gold surface and deep blue sapphires. Stunning!’
Alison Charny, Decorative Arts specialist: ‘The pre-eminent Venetian jeweller Nardi is synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. With its array of coloured gems and playful black enamel mask, this brooch figure is typical of an Arlecchino at a Venetian masked ball.’
Carleigh Queenth, Porcelain specialist: ‘I love Cocteau’s films and the 11 dream-like designs he did for this set of 26 Limoges plates. My favourite looks a bit like a mystical pizza.’
Andrew Huber, Fine Arts specialist: ‘This oil-on-board construction is a particular favourite of mine because its three-dimensionality demands that the viewer interacts with it. It’s an exceptional example of the artist’s “reverspective” technique.’
