Rachel "Bunny" Mellon collected anything she found beautiful-which was everything. From simple objects like baskets, wooden walking sticks and topiaries to masterpieces by Van Gogh and contemporary works by Rothko to engraved silver pill boxes and elaborate jewelry designs by Jean Schlumberger.
"She appreciated everything and everyone at every level for what it was or who they were, " says Mitchell Merling, curator of the Mellon Collection at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. "An advocate of modernism and tradition, Mrs. Mellon occupied a key position of style in the 20th century and she still has something very relevant to say to us today."

I purchased a few items at the Sotheby’s Auction of Bunny Melon’s Estate. None of those featured in this video. Mine are a 14k gold needle case and a 14k gold drum pin cushion charm. They are among my favorite possessions, and a small piece of history.

Lucky you! I bid on some items at Christie’s in 2004 Doris Duke estate, but did not win!

I have been an antique dealer since I left school in 1984, and o gotta say your channel gets my heartbeat racing 👍🤩🍒 also I saw some of these pieces are a bit late but you can’t beat the deco nouveau style for jewellery can you? 🤔

Other than a few things which I liked, I found some of these items rather strange/unusual!

@samanthab1923 2 года назад

I was just thinking of her collection of jeweled purses. I don’t know why that popped in my head.

Bunny Melon use to tie here scarf onto her hand bag when she went to dine, soon all the uptown ladies did that. HERMES SCARVES on bags at every cafe

I can’t imagine justifying the jewels these women adorn themselves with. It is so beyond me. I think of how I want wells in Africa, to protect the animals from poachers and a million other things. As lovely as sparklies are, to me pure adornment of a sows ear! I want to see results and change. Even if I lived 10 lifetimes I would never ever get this use of money, ever! I adore people who personalities are more magical than jewels by the good give back. Money is finite in this world. Only generosity of spirit is a prayer for the future long after we are gone and a flicker of a memory. And theses lovely sparkling things are unimportant unless you are a Queen. A nice wide gold band will say, ‘I’m loved and spoken for’.

When compared with Elizabeth Taylor jewels, these are cheap and simple.

@apebass2215 6 месяцев назад

"cheap" 🤣

@donnasherwood283 2 года назад

a person of such quality and taste limited by the hideous aesthetic of the 50s and 60s which manifests in this collection with a few exceptions. Her best accomplishments were in botany and interior design. Some of these are horrid and I remember the style well.

It’s never to late to remember that the trump woman had the White House rose garden destroyed .

@greeneyedwarlock882 2 года назад

“ trump woman”……..you mean MELANOMA, right?? Because that’s EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS…….A MALIGNANT TUMOR.

@sergpie 2 года назад

Did you know that the irrigation of the rose garden wasn’t upgraded since the 1970s, and root-rot was a severe problem even for the crabapple trees? Speaking of those trees; the ones Mellon planted have been replaced at least 4 times since 1962, and the most if not all the originals, have since died (one is supposedly found a new home in the south lawn).

@laurenlepage1354 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for clarifying. I am not a Trump fan but I thought this gesture seemed to be an act of class.?

Skip the tinny guitar music!

@DebbieMarthey-jn2kh 6 месяцев назад

Her collection is beautiful & amazingly unique! I wonder what the $ value is of her jewelry. Did they auction off her jewelry after her death?

@rayllompart 2 года назад

It is to her credit that a woman who could buy the entire cache of diamonds at Cartier demonstrates in these pieces a strong restraint in so many. They are tasteful, but rarely vulgar. Now, that pampered life with her own plane strip, which Elizabeth II visited, is another world onto itself. I hear she granted an "audience" (at the age of 100 or so!) to Woopie Goldberg! What those two beings could have been discussing is something that astounds me to a point----was it Shlumberger?!!!
