A gilt metal wirework brooch by Peter Wylie Davison – £2600 at Lyon & Turnbull.
The Dream, a brooch by Phoebe Anna Traquair – £5500.
Original jewellery designs occupy a distinct market niche. Few lots in the Design since 1860 sale held by Lyon & Turnbull (25% buyer’s premium) in Edinburgh on October 20 were more admired than a series of Art Nouveau pencil and watercolour jewellery drawings by Frances Macdonald McNair (1873-1921).
