Dear Mr. Massoumi,

Our office is unfortunately closed for the holiday. Would you have been able to take the photos and organize them accordingly?

Looking forward to hearing from you and receiving your photos.

Clare,

I have an “expert” who is going to be coming out in the next couple of weeks to help with selling/donating/trashing everything. If anything you’ve seen so far is of interest, let me know, I will put together Dropbox files of these categories
 as I can, right now I’m trying to focus on trashing to clear out space for what is likely of some value.

Regards,

Cyrus

Hi Mr. Massoumi,

Upon receiving additional photos, I’m sure our specialist can decipher. To make things easier for everyone (hopefully yourself too!) would it possible to send a separate email with
 the photos attached in each category noted below. Please send the emails directly to my email
[cgolding@christies.com](mailto:cgolding@christies.com).

1.

2.
Furniture
3.
Handbags
4.
Jewelry (if you find that majority may not be of interest, you are more than welcome to just send a few of the ones you would be interested in consigning)

Looking forward to receiving!

Best,

Clare Golding

Do your people have an opinion on the ring? Some local person who I think may be involved with the theft said it was cut badly, and only worth $81,000 even though it is almost 7k.
 Some terminology to infer that it was cut to look larger than it is, and this was common in the 1980’s - an apparent diamond specialist.

Apart from jewelry I also have furniture, art, sculptures, stamps, about 25 handbags, in very good - near mint condition (vintage) mostly Chanel with 2 Hermès and some Gucci.

And, misc. other stuff as is to be expected.

The jewelry outstanding is mostly Persian, so, I’m not sure if it would be of interest.

Dear Mr. Massoumi,

Apologies for the delay I was allocating the photographs to the appropriate people and upon correspondence with them I observed your additional photos. Would it be possible for
 you to send a list of the jewelry or even photograph each individual piece? I understand this maybe time consuming however, it would greatly assist our jewelry specialist in Los Angeles.

I hope your family’s ring is returned- my sincerest apologies for what you’ve had to endure in picking up the pieces.

Dear (),

There are some number of almost mint (9?) condition Chanel bags, including a vintage Hermès Berkin, (has like one mark on it, but, looks never used) - For most of these pieces I
 can’t find them on the vintage sites... I also have scarves & belts (new new) and a handmade dress worn to I suppose royal events, and some number of mint (mint mint) condition shoes from the high end designers (no paperwork, but, still have the stuff in them,
 etc) - They appear modern, amusingly. “Timeless”. I suppose.

 ![](cid:image001.jpg@01D5B73E.0612FA20)

 ![](cid:image002.jpg@01D5B73E.0612FA20)

 ![](cid:image005.jpg@01D5B73E.0612FA20)

 ![](cid:image006.jpg@01D5B73E.0612FA20)

There is much more Hermès, mint, in the closets, ties, fragrances, scarves, and the sort. Of course, I have no paperwork, and these people refuse to authenticate things, though,
 I imagine if you’re interested you all can.

The shoes are all, Kate Spade, Gucci, Prada, etc etc (as expected) - they are mint / classic. Will send some shortly.

Separately, I have, some art, most notably this (Perboyer),

I have some good number of statues, though, it seems most notably Premavera ($6,900).

 ![](cid:image007.jpg@01D5B73E.0612FA20)

 ![](cid:image008.jpg@01D5B73E.0612FA20)

(15-20 other paintings, I think this is most promising)

Also, have come across an attache case, which has somewhere between 2-4,000 stamps of 100-150 year old age, and we’ve as of now identified about half the worlds countries, as well
 as, the only ones we could identify, going for $35-110 each[minimum], but, obviously a very complex process to go through, not sure if you even traffic in it. It will, most likely be a very odd collection, as we have found some historically frowned upon stamps
 as well (they have no internet listing, and, I imagine are only there as a matter of historical curiosities, no odd proportion to them). - The Chanel bags I can’t find comparables of, the tan & black one seems quite gorgeous, and is basically mint, same with
 the beaded clutch).

Outside of this, I have, a lot more art, of medium value ($2,500-$5,000) & my quest continues for the elusive prizes(podium!!), as the wait continues for the box.

trying to navigate spacial logistics. (This place isn’t I think what you all are used to, but, I imagine the pendant, my suspicion is, will be a rather significant / telling piece.
 (I have much more Persian jewelry and gold, but, I didn’t deem them worth your while, I can include if you’d like).

Here is an awful photo of some fraction of it:

I am basically logistically pressed to photograph everything as when I have to move boxes into the main house And not moving anything out I am getting surrounded by this stuff...
 it was extremely helpful when Mr. () eliminates many of the vases, as then I can move those down to Tier 2, though I still don’t have a Tier 2 candidate and would be very receptive to your recommendations. (Tier 2 auction place near me)

(What I sent him:)

P.S. I separately have a question about the diamond ring, as, it’s disappearance will soon be pursued legally, but, I wonder if your experts may be able to discern anything that
 might be helpful, its current status doesn’t quite make sense to me (from what I’ve been told of it’s cut, etc.) - as it was stolen from my mother, it’s repossession is more a matter of honor than monetary concern, for me..... though, Sotheby’s help would
 be appreciated, as, I have no interest in it to possess personally and imagine your buyers do.

Note For Christie’s: ***(^@Clare^^ My moms 6K ring was stolen by this evil cunt I am going to have my lawyers hunt to the ends of the earth(family member, felony theft).... my family
 has a tendency to get feisty during death, now I am selling everything to build up my war chest, selling fancy things to fancy people to pay for fancy lawyers, so, I can one day fulfill my lofty dream of closing my gates and revitalize this vineyard... strange
 world!!) *** pictured below -

I believe ...  Christie’s will want some number of my items, especially the upcoming ones. If you don’t have any interest, I’ll find a way to live with the disappointment.... but,
 I’ll be disappointed 😂

Cheers,

Cyrus
