Incredible March Auction Highlights

The prominent designer Zandra Rhodes made this dress that Princess Diana wore to a 1987 benefit In London. 

When Princess Diana began selling her dresses at auctions and giving the money to charity in the 1990s, this was one of the dresses that she auctioned off. With provenance from Christie’s, it is a gorgeous ivory chiffon cocktail dress which Princess Diana wore to a birthright benefit at the London Paladium. The event took place in May of 1987.

Custom Made by Zandra Rhodes

The dress was from the 1985 autumn/winter collection, “India Revisited” and is a longsleeved gown designed in the “Buttons and Bows” pattern with zig-zag bands to the hem on white silk chiffon, laid over its white silk jersey lining. Pleated bodice is studded with pearl beads and sequins, and waistband is made of quilted white satin over the draped skirt.

Adolf Hitler Autographed & Handwritten Police Document From 1909 .

Adolf Hitler was a young 19-year-old when he left his family home in Linz to travel to Vienna to “seek his fortune” much as his father had done before him. He arrived with a family inheritance, which he quickly squandered.

This 1909 police document is an important historic piece from the “what if” portion of his life. At this time, Hitler tried for a second time to gain entrance to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, which again rejected him.

Poor and Homeless

After this rejection, Hitler still refused to work, feeling above anything that he was capable of doing. He signed this police document on August 22, 1909, where he lived until the 16th of September. Four months later he was homeless, and would enter an Assylum for the Shelterless where he would live for several years.

In this  March auction document, he fills in all the fields in his own handwriting of the partially-printed ”Meldzettel”, listing his residence as ”Room 21/ 58 Sechshauserstrasse, Vienna”. For his occupation, he writes ”Schriftsteller”, or writer. No further records exist until his application to the Asylum for the Shelterless in December of that year. The document contains Hitler’s autograph as well.

Original Cliff Wright Artwork for the Cover of ”Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” — Depicts the infamous “Flying Car Scene”

Original Signed Cliff Wright Artwork for the Cover of ”Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” — Depicting Harry Riding the Mythical Creature, Buckbeak, Under the Moonlight

Beautiful Autographed Original Artwork by Marc Chagall in His Book, ”Peintre Sous un Arbre” 

Original art hand-rendered by Marc Chagall and with his autograph on the frontispiece of his book ”Marc Chagall de Draeger,” published by Draeger-Vilo, Paris 1979. Chagall dates this piece 1979 to the lower left. Chagall uses wax crayon, pen, brush and India ink in this work, created right on the frontispiece of the book. On the opposite page, he writes: ”Pour Ingrid et Alfred en bon souvenir Chagall”.

The drawing’s stark black birds alighting in the tree provide a quintessential example of Chagall’s use of color to create movement in a piece.

The 1951 ceremony was held at Ciro’s nightclub in West Hollywood.  The statue, which is featured in our March auction, is composed of a metal sculpture of a globe encircled by a film strip upon a grey marble pedestal. The letters ”HFPA” appear in the metal design beneath the globe.

Abraham Lincoln Autograph Letter Signed as President — Lincoln Soothes Ruffled Feathers: ”…This morning your brother came to me again…and insisted that there is still another place…”

This letter written by Abraham Lincoln,  signed as President, ”A. Lincoln” was written to George M. Weston in Augusta, Maine and is datelined the Executive Mansion, 28 September 1861

The letter is entirely in Lincoln’s hand.

The letter reads: ”My dear sir, Some time ago I told your brother if he would get Gen.

Ripley saying he was competent, but in which he does not say he wishes his appointment and seemed to think he had got what I suggested – I however wrote the Sec. of War favorable to his appointment…A. Lincoln”.

Mary Queen of Scots document signed, ”Marie R”. This is a vellum document and is datelined February 1582, Sheffield Castle, where Mary was confined by Queen Elizabeth I.

The document appoints John Botz to the prebend at Bitcry. The Throckmorton plot to kill and supplant Elizabeth with Mary was underway when this document was written.

The document reads: ”Today, on the [blank] day of February, in the year of 1582, the Queen of Scotland, Doweress of France, being at the Castle of Sheffield in England, on the strength of the recommendation which has been made to her…of John Botz, granted and awarded to him the first Prebend which shall fall due hereafter, and a vacancy at Bitcry being in her Majesty’s disposal, she desires and orders…the letters of Investiture be sent to the said Botz…’

Winston Churchill Resigns as Prime Minister — ”…for some time past I have not felt that at my age it would be right for me to incur such new and indefinite responsibilities…”

This is the actual document announcing Winston Churchill’s resignation from the office of Prime Minister, dated 6 April 1955. Winston Churchill’s signature is on this letter, which is written after suffering a severe stroke in 1953. Churchill’s health deteriorated quickly affecting both his speech and ability to walk.

Written on official 10 Downing Street stationery, letter to Conservative politician John Harvey reads in part: ”…For some time past I have not felt that at my age it would be right for me to incur such new and indefinite responsibilities I have therefore tendered my resignation to The Queen”. Churchill endorses Anthony Eden as his successor in upholding ”…the causes of Tory democracy which Lord Beaconsfield proclaimed, which Lord Randolph Churchill revived, and which I have tried to serve…[signed] Yours sincerely / Winston S. Churchill”.
