Ritchies auction house will hold the Prestige Auction on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 1 p.m. The largest fall 2013 Ritchies auction, the Prestige Auction will be conducted in the Bronfman Room at the Royal Ontario Museum. We are proud to have put Canada on the forefront in the international auction scene the last time we held an auction at the R.O.M., said Hon. Col. Kashif Khan, managing director, Ritchies. Ritchies set a record auctioning off a 50-carat diamond for over three million dollars. We hope to set another international record With over 380 lots valued over $20 million, the auction will carry one-of-a-kind pieces and luxury items. The Prestige Auction will be unique to auctions held in the past. Ritchies will feature items from different auction categories: jewellery and watches; designer handbags; fine art; decorative art; and estate jewellery. Featured are Ming Dynasty tapestry, a Montague Dawson painting and a Pierre Auguste Renoir cast. The auction will also offer Rare Colombian 100-carat emeralds- the largest natural emeralds ever to be auctioned in Canada. It can be expensive to buy antique treasures from a dealer, said Khan. Its not often that you get an opportunity to buy pieces like the ones Ritchies is offering at a fraction of the price at an auction. Founded in 1868 as a small trading company, Ritchies went on to become Canadas leading auctioneer of fine Canadian art, fine international art, decorative art, jewellery, rare wine and other personal property since its launch as an auction house in 1967. In 2011 the Ritchies name was purchased and has been re-invented by a new team as a world-class auctioneer of fine gems and jewellery, truly putting Toronto on the international stage. The new Ritchies team praises the incredible feats achieved by Ritchies Inc. at auction and intend to surpass those accolades and achievements. With offices in Toronto, New York and Hong Kong, Ritchies offers over 20 auctions each year to a broad national and international market. Its buyers include leading collectors, dealers, designers, curators and discerning private individuals who have come to trust Ritchies expertise, experience and in-depth market knowledge. Media is invited to preview the items the day of from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. For additional information, images or interview requests, please contact: Patricia Lok, BuzzPR 416-777-2899 plok@buzzpr.ca
