OAK PARK, IL.- On Thursday, November 12, Toomey & Co. Auctioneers will hold its second annual Jewelry, Silver & Objects of Vertu sale with material by notable makers from various periods and in a range of styles. Included among the more than 400 lots in the auction are American Arts & Crafts examples as well as items representing the following eras: Victorian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Modernist/Mid-Century, and Contemporary. There are many distinguished sources for the auction, in particular, The Paul & Terry Somerson Collection of 20th and 21st Century Metalwork and Jewelry.

Paul Somerson was a highly successful tech journalist and author during the 1980s and 1990s who later transitioned to collecting with his wife, Terry. The Somersons ultimately assembled the largest private collection of American Arts & Crafts metalwork and jewelry and also acquired many fine Modernist examples. On May 5, 2019, Toomey & Co. conducted a single-owner, catalog sale for The Somerson Collection in which 500 lots achieved $650K with a 93% sell-through rate. The Jewelry, Silver & Objects of Vertu auction on November 12 will extend this important offering with over 200 additional lots from The Somerson Collection.
