Footnotes: Fondée à Athènes en 1895 par Efthimios Zolotas, au pied de l'Acropole, après une formation dans les ateliers parisiens, la maison Zolotas devient le joaillier de l'élite grecque et réalise en 1910 des bijoux pour la famille royale de Grèce à l'occasion du couronnement du roi George V. Sous l'impulsion de Xenophon Zolotas, fils du fondateur, elle collabore dès le début des années 1960 avec les musées archéologiques grecs pour réinterpréter les motifs de l'Antiquité : lions, béliers, méandres et feuilles de laurier deviennent la signature de ses créations. Installée à Paris depuis le début des années 1970, elle a compté parmi ses clientes Maria Callas, Elizabeth Taylor et Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Founded in Athens in 1895 by Efthimios Zolotas, at the foot of the Acropolis, following his training in Parisian workshops, the house of Zolotas became the jeweller of the Greek elite and in 1910 created jewels for the Greek royal family to wear at the coronation of King George V. Under Xenophon Zolotas, the founder's son, it collaborated from the early 1960s with the Greek archaeological museums to reinterpret the motifs of antiquity: lions, rams, meanders and laurel leaves became the signature of its designs. Established in Paris since the early 1970s, its clients have included Maria Callas, Elizabeth Taylor and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
