JEWEL-STUDDED FRAMES
(Received July 2, 12.40 a.m.)
Melbourne, July 1
Twelve miniatures from the collection of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, which have been on view in the National Art Gallery for 12 months, have suddenly become doubly valuable as the result of a casual visit to the gallery by a jewel expert who noticed that the frames were studded with genuine pearls and diamonds worth probably as much as the miniatures, whichoriginally cost £3250 when purchased by the Felton Bequest.
