A dazzling Baignoire de Cartier 18kt yellow gold and diamond ladies’ watch, made around 2010, slipped onto a new wrist for ,225, and a beautiful pair of Chinese turquoise glaze terracotta foo dogs on stands brought ,842 in an online-only Fine Interiors, Art & Antiques auction held April 30th by Neue Auctions, based in Beachwood.

The auction featured a wild and wonderful collection of objects assembled from estates and collections across Ohio, Naples, Florida and other locations – 381 lots in all.

Already Neue Auctions is gearing up for its next big event: a May Modern auction slated for Saturday, May 28.

With a pre-sale estimate of ,000-,000, the Baignoire de Cartier ladies’ watch was the sale’s expected top lot, and it did not disappoint.
