One of the world's oldest auctioneers of fine art and antiques Bonhams, is hosting the Pioneers of Popular Culture sale on 15th August during the inaugural Goodwood Vintage Festival. The new sale celebrates the icons from the 40s-90s, combining important and interesting objects from entertainment memorabilia, vintage guitars, television toys, fashion accessories, wristwatches, photographs, prints, posters and 20th century designer furniture.
One of the major highlights of the sale is the Challen upright piano from Abbey Road studios, played by The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Highlights also include a three-strand simulated pearl necklace formerly owned by Jackie Kennedy Onassis, which she wore during the early 1960s. It’s part of three lots of the former First Lady's jewellery, which has been estimated at £25,000 – 35,000.
The Vintage at Goodwood Festival is the brainchild of fashion designers Wayne and Gerardine Hemmingway in conjunction with Lord March. Set over three days, it is a celebration of all that is best about British popular culture in music, fashion, art, design and film. There will be the first Festival Vintage High Street housing an IWC Schaffhausen clock tower, a Fortnum and Mason tea shop, an Oxfam store and a collectibles market where you'll be able to buy pieces from YSL, Givenchy and Pucci.
