Estate In Time® Presents
An Epic & Exquisite Estate Sale in Paradise Valley
Thursday, June 5 – Sunday, June 8, 2025

***FINE JEWELRY, GOLD & STERLING ARE REMOVED NIGHTLY AND NOT KEPT ON THE PREMISES***

Tucked into the lush heart of Paradise Valley, this extraordinary estate has quietly stood as a sanctuary of refinement and beauty for over 40 years. The couple who lived here—respected, well-traveled, and impeccably stylish—curated their home with an eye for legacy. Each item was chosen not simply to furnish a home, but to reflect a life steeped in culture, creativity, and grace.

Now, for the first time, their collection is being opened to the public. This is far more than a sale—it is a rare glimpse inside a world where elegance, artistry, and memory meet.

Fine Jewelry: Rare, Storied, Collectible

The jewelry alone is worth the visit. Over 200 exceptional pieces are available, including 14k and 18k gold and sterling silver—many featuring diamonds, sapphires, rubies, turquoise, emeralds, and other precious stones. Names include Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Gucci, Jay Strongwater, Fabergé, Baume & Mercier, Michael Dawkins, John Hardy, E. Kee, Christian Dior, Herbert Rosenthal, Lalique, Prada, Daum, Los Castillo, and Phillip Lim.

From a Herbert Rosenthal 18k gold and diamond pink sapphire bee brooch to a sterling Gucci earring set, a Fabergé egg pendant, and vintage designer gemstone necklaces—each piece is displayed in custom cases, securely locked and attended.

Jewelry and sterling are cash only and sold on a first-come, one-on-one basis with staff assistance. You’ll want to arrive early.

Trinket Boxes & Decorative Figurines: An Unparalleled Collection

This estate features hundreds of collectible trinket boxes and figurines—an extraordinary accumulation that spans decades and makers from across the world. Featured artists and studios include Limoges, Herend, Jay Strongwater, Daum, Jan Barboglio, and others. Each box is finely detailed, with enamel, porcelain, Swarovski crystal, or pewter finishes, and many are part of limited edition releases no longer in production.

From whimsical animal figurines to intricate florals and tiny jeweled eggs, this is one of the finest privately held trinket box collections we’ve encountered.

Crystal & Art Glass: Grace in Every Detail

Throughout the home, you’ll discover carefully placed crystal and glass pieces—each selected for both aesthetic and occasion. The collection includes substantial examples from Waterford, Baccarat, Daum, Lalique, Swarovski, and Leo Yeoward. Items include full sets of stemware, pedestal vases, sculptural figurines, bowls, necklace pendants, candlesticks, and accent pieces—some vintage, some contemporary, all elegant.

Most are in pristine condition, and many are boxed or with provenance.

Designer Fashion: A Wardrobe of Icons

The fashion in this home spans decades and reads like the front row of Paris Fashion Week. This is not fast fashion or passing trend—this is luxury, curated. There are handbags, clothing, footwear, scarves, sunglasses, and perfume from Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci by Tom Ford, Judith Leiber, Dior, Hermes, Salvatore Ferragamo, Christian Louboutin, Christian Dior, YSL, Loro Piana, John Galliano, Effie Calavaza, Barry Kieselstein, Thom Browne, Oscar de la Renta, Marni, Theory, Burberry, Lanvin, and Xavier Danaud.

Several handbags and designer pieces are rare runway editions. Many of the scarves are stored in original boxes, clothing was professionally maintained, and perfume bottles (some vintage) are elegantly displayed. Whether you're a collector, a fashion enthusiast, or simply drawn to exceptional quality—this collection is remarkable.

Library & Table Book Collection: A Designer’s Archive

The homeowner’s daughter, a celebrated New York designer, amassed a personal library that is as curated as the clothing and jewelry. This collection includes hundreds of fashion and photography table books from legendary houses including Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Schiaparelli, Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Madeleine Vionnet, Poiret, and Roger Vivier.

Many of these were acquired directly from museum exhibitions or limited printings. Also included: leather-bound sets from Easton Press, collectible Kennedy-era newspapers, rare fashion lookbooks, and mid-century architecture and design volumes.

The Art of Entertaining: Kitchen & Dining Treasures

The kitchen and dining areas reflect a passion for gracious living. Open a cabinet and you’ll find stacks of fine china including Herend’s Chinese Bouquet Raspberry, Royal Worcester Evesham, and Spode, alongside full place settings of Furnival’s Quail ironstone—over 100 pieces in remarkable condition. There are delicate Portmeirion Botanic Garden dishes, Villeroy & Boch servingware, and coordinating accents throughout.

Flatware includes Christofle’s Albi Acier stainless collection, as well as sterling Towle serving pieces. Glass cabinets display vintage Biot hand-blown stemware and pitchers, known for their charming air bubbles and subtle coloration. On the center table, a rare Fellerman Raabe cameo glass pedestal bowl offers the perfect conversation piece.

There are well-cared-for MacKenzie-Childs cake plates, trivets, and vases with their signature hand-painted flair. Polished Arthur Court pewter trays, vintage copper mixing bowls and canisters, and a pristine Kitchenaid Artisan mixer round out the kitchen. Every drawer, every shelf reveals something beautiful—both useful and display-worthy.

Furniture: Lasting Legacy in Wood and Fabric

This home is furnished with lasting, heirloom-quality pieces—traditional, rich in detail, and beautifully made. The collection includes inlaid flame mahogany dining tables, sideboards, writing desks, display cabinets, armchairs, and more. You’ll find notable pieces from Councill, Southwood, Ethan Allen, and Stiffel, all with craftsmanship meant to endure.

Most pieces remain in excellent condition, with only a few in need of minor refinishing. Whether you're seeking showpieces or functional sophistication, these are furnishings to invest in.

Holiday & Seasonal Collections

Stored with care are numerous boxes of high-end Christmas and seasonal décor—ornaments, garlands, tabletop decorations, and collectible items that adorned this home year after year. Many are handmade, vintage, or imported. A true treasure trove for anyone who delights in refined holiday decorating.
