- Lot Description
Pair of black satin, crystal sequin pants (presumed to be Swarovski), with inset red panels along sides. Waist size about 37". 40-1/2" long, 29" inseam. The crystal motifs perfectly match the performer's Czar Nicholas jacket, on display in a museum with plain trousers. It is believed that this pair was made originally for that costume. (Liberace wore the costume also for the cover of his autobiography, and it is unclear whether or not he wore these pants in that photo.) It's been proposed that -- since no definitive photo can be found -- they might have been made for an ensemble member, but the extraordinary beadwork alone makes that seem unlikely. The motif of three gold crystals surrounded by six gold seed beads occurs 250 times, and each of those nine elements was hand-sewn. Each side panel is framed by 105 hand-sewn crystals, each of which is accented with about ~40 of the gold seed beads, all hand-strung. Provenance: From the estate collection of a personal friend and business associate of Liberace's. The last image shows three slips from her address book (redacted), which are not included in the auction. After her recent passing, the family consigned her collection to Blackwell. This item can be shipped in-house.

Only the registered bidder may pay for and pick up firearm(s) after the mandatory three-day waiting period (excluding weekends and legal holidays), if applicable. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PURCHASE A FIREARM FOR ANOTHER PERSON. Blackwell Auctions may, at its discretion, refuse a bid for any reason. For local pickups, Blackwell Auctions charges a $20 processing fee. Firearm sales to Florida residents (with the exception of muzzleloaders or antique arms manufactured before 1898) will be subject to and must pass the FDLE Background Check. The purchaser will be required to fill out ATF Form 4473 and provide a valid government-issued photo identification. If you are NOT a Florida resident, you may not take direct, in-person possession of a firearm. If you are not local, your firearm must be shipped to the holder of a Federal Firearms License (FFL). We hold an FFL and will ship to the FFL of your choice. Some firearms may also be shipped to the holder of a C&R (Curios & Relics) - please inquire. Muzzleloaders or antique arms manufactured before 1898 do not require any licenses and may be shipped directly to you. Due to recent carrier restrictions, no ammunition or firearms, regardless of age, can be shipped outside the USA. Do not bid on a firearm if -- by judgment or disability -- you may not legally possess a firearm. Any attempt to circumvent Federal, state or local laws governing firearm sales will be reported to local law enforcement and to the ATF field office. You must be 21 years old to purchase firearms and ammunition. You are responsible for knowing if your state bars a certain type of firearm/ammo/accessory from being shipped to you. Know your laws BEFORE bidding.
