Nestled in the heart of London's upscale South Kensington, Knightsbridge exudes an air of refined elegance and historical charm. Lined with Georgian and Victorian townhouses adorned with intricate facades, this picturesque area with a blend of boutique shops, quaint cafes, and stylish restaurants is a haven for discerning shoppers seeking unique treasures, from antique furniture to haute couture fashion. With its leafy surroundings and proximity to cultural landmarks the V&A and the Natural History Museum, Knightsbridge embodies the timeless allure of London’s affluent neighbourhoods.

Emma Barnett’s favourite lot is Lot 117 – three cased sets of Asprey silver menu holders. Catering to a party of eighteen people, they exemplify the high society living associated with London’s Knightsbridge. Whilst Amelia Hone prefers the mahogany drinks trolley, complete with a tantalus and glasses.
