For Matilda Geddings Gray and her niece, Matilda Gray Stream, a life of curiosity looked like Fabergé masterpieces, iconic jewels, Impressionist paintings and objects gathered not for spectacle, but for love.

A Treasured History: The Stream Family Collection traces the lives of two visionary women whose passion for art, jewellery and design shaped one of the most remarkable private collections in America, with many of these works appearing at auction for the first time.

From a rare Fabergé rhinoceros automaton and Art Deco Tiffany & Co. diamonds to a custom Cartier necklace inspired by India and the nearly 50-carat ‘Tugboat diamond’, the collection is a portrait of independence, imagination and impeccable taste.
