NEW YORK, NY.- The live portion of A Treasured History: The Stream Family Collection realized $17,283,510 Christie's Rockefeller Center on June 10, achieving 99% sold by lot and 231% sold by low estimate. The accompanying online sale remains open for bidding through June 17.

The auction saw strong global participation and spirited bidding across phone and online channels, with 58% of bidders and buyers from the Americas, 15% from APAC, and 26% from EMEA.

Capera Ryan, Christie's Deputy Chairman says: “The success of the sale underscores the strong appetite among collectors for works of exceptional quality, pieces that are fresh to the market, rare, with impeccable provenance. It speaks not only to the discerning eye of the collectors who assembled this remarkable group, but also to the enduring appreciation for beauty and the joy of collecting. The Stream Family Collection reflects the vision of two extraordinary women, Matilda Geddings Gray and Matilda Gray Stream, who surrounded themselves with objects of the highest caliber. Their commitment to excellence and their instinct for acquiring works of lasting significance have resulted in a collection that has only grown more rare and resonant with time.”

The collection also featured jewels incorporating Indian‑inspired and antique elements, including a Cartier Multi‑Gem, Enamel and Diamond Navratna Necklace, which sold for $88,900, four times its high estimate.

The Fabergé section was led by an Extremely Rare and Impressive Gem‑set Silver Rhinoceros Automaton, Fabergé, circa 1900, which achieved $762,000.
