This collection, drawn from private residences in New York and London, reflects a transatlantic appreciation for the traditional European aesthetic - an elegant fusion of historical depth, eclecticism and refined taste. Assembled with a connoisseur’s eye for provenance and patina, it includes pieces formerly in the collections of David Rockefeller, Veronica, Dowager Countess of Lucan, and Lady Maria Cholmondeley. Together with other pieces of fine English furniture, tea caddies, early Worcester porcelain and Chinese export reverse paintings, the collection celebrates a tradition of layered interiors shaped by curiosity, scholarship and enduring style.
