John Scott-Oldfield was a lover of music, art and history, with an instinctive desire for adventure to faraway places. The interior of his flat at 65 Warwick Square encapsulates a thoughtful mixture of styles, from Renaissance Europe to Qing Dynasty China to Georgian England, representing the impact of his academic interests as well as his love of travel on his decorative aesthetic.
The collection is sure to generate huge interest among collectors, dealers and interior designers alike, and Sworders are privileged to have been asked to disperse his estate, which will be offered in three upcoming sales: Fine Interiors, Old Master, British & European Paintings and Asian Art.
