Precious objects from the house famous for its eggs and jewelry are up for sale.<\/h2>\n

An opportunity looms for Faberg\u00e9 jewelry collectors: on June 10th, Christie’s presents A Treasured History: The Stream Family Collection in New York. In addition to the live auction, a parallel online sale is scheduled, open to bidding until June 17th. The collection includes one of the most valuable Faberg\u00e9 groups in the world, along with a collection of jewelry that has remained unseen for over a century. The auction includes examples of European furniture, silverware, porcelain, glass, antiques, and paintings. The Gray Stream family of entrepreneurs, committed to protecting cultural and environmental heritage, has amassed one of the most important collections through two Louisiana women, Matilda Geddings Gray and her granddaughter Matilda Gray Stream. Matilda Geddings Gray, a pioneering entrepreneur and visionary collector, after taking over the family business in 1921, began acquiring Faberg\u00e9 works at a time when the artist’s name was still little known in the United States. Over 40 years, she built one of the world’s largest collections, including four Imperial Eggs and the celebrated Basket of Lily-of-the-Valley, widely considered Faberg\u00e9’s floral masterpiece.

This extraordinary collection, assembled over many decades, represents a rare blend of expertise and technical brilliance. For Christie’s, the greatest privilege is to present the world’s most prestigious collections, from Elizabeth Taylor to Yves Saint Laurent, from Ann and Gordon Getty to the Rothschild family. It is an honor to bring the Stream Family Collection to market and recognize this extraordinary family among the great collectors and custodians of cultural heritage.
