Two extraordinary auctions are taking place at Christie’s New York this June. “A Treasured History: The Stream Family Collection” offers property in a live auction on June 10th and an online sale closing June 17th from two legendary Louisiana women: Matilda Geddings Gray (1885–1971) and her niece, Matilda Gray Stream (1924–2023). The sales encompass paintings, antiquities, European furniture, silver, and porcelain, as well as a trove of exquisite jewelry, clocks, and accessories by some of the greatest makers, including Cartier and Tiffany & Co. The collection’s pièce de résistance is a selection of museum-quality Fabergé objects.
