THE second part of links of london

28/11/2009

THE second part of one of this season's most successful auctions at Sotheby Parke Bernet takes place on Saturday, Feb. 5, at 2 P.M. Being offered is the ceramics collection of Wilfrid Swall, and the exhibition of the lavishly decorated 19th-century monumental vases, plates and decorations at the gallery on York Avenue at 72d Street begins tomorrow and continues through next Friday. cheap links of london

Mr. Swall, a collector-dealer whose antiques company was Sevres & Vienna Porcelains of Tulare, Calif., left more than 600 examples of English and Continental porcelain at his death in June. That he was not alone in his taste for high Victorian ceramics was evident on Dec. 11, at the first session of the three-part auction. That auction realized $1,074,370, compared with Sotheby's most optimistic expectations of $928,000, sold all but eight lots of the 199 offered and attracted a number of dealers representing Middle Eastern collectors. links of london sweetie

The most important porcelains, which sold for two to three times Sotheby's estimates, were colorful outsize vases embellished with gilding and scenes from legends, mythology and history. A pair of late-19th-century covered Vienna vases on pedestal bases, standing almost five feet tall, were bought by a New York dealer for $56,100. The top estimate had been $20,000. A pair of five-foot four-inch covered Sevres vases, awash with cupids and mounted with bronze, were sold to a London dealer for $46,200, triple the estimate. Raindance Silver Pendant

A Minton majolica vase from 1870, the cover surmounted by the chained figure of Prometheus and an eagle hovering above, was the most expensive piece. It sold to a New York dealer for $35,200. Two other pairs of gilt-mounted Sevres vases went to a London dealer, who paid $35,200 and $33,000 for them. Still another pair of covered Vienna vases, painted with continuous friezes of kaisers in formal court costumes, sold for $31,900. Teddy Charm

Branded designer links of london

27/11/2009

Branded designer sections are also being added. "We are working with vendors and asking them what they want. Some allow us to sell, while others just want to use us as a showcase for their stores. These are like 'drive-to-stores'," said Lilly. Chanel is one of the major names that the company is developing a 'shop-in-shop' for on the NeimanMarcus.com site. From these initiatives as many as 50 per cent of the visitors to the site are new customers, which goes some way to dispelling the widely-held view that cannibalisation is a sufficient deterrent for luxury goods retailers to be successful on the Internet. cheap links of london

Equire's Matthews added that his experience had shown that average sales via luxury goods retailers' Web sites was at worst double the level in their shops and at best eight times higher - as a result of an increase in multiple purchases. links of london sweetie

To truly benefit from this, he said retailers shouldn't underestimate the power of PR. "It is a powerful tool for dotcom sales. Any marketing campaign not involving PR is flawed." He cites the success of another of his clients, toy retailer Hamleys, which sold out of its stock of gold-plated James Bond Aston Martin DB7s after only a brief mention in the New York Times.

It clearly wouldn't take a secret agent of Bond's capability to realise that there are many opportunities for luxury goods retailers online - and that the medium is very much suited to their products. But, like Neiman Marcus, it is up to them to take the bold step online. Teddy Charm
