The client: a former model. The setting: her stately east Winnetka home. It’s a gem of a sale! Closets are overflowing with vintage designer dresses, gowns and costume jewelry including stunners by Miriam Haskell and Kenneth Lane.
Our beautiful client loved the thrill-of-the-hunt and her home decor reflects her passions. Highlights include an extensive Staffordshire-style dog collection with pieces by Fitz & Floyd and Mottahedeh; busts and figurines of famous musicians including Mozart, Chopin and Beethoven; and vintage books including dozens of collectible architecture monographs showcasing sketches of palaces, piazzas and palatial homes.
A consummate entertainer, her cabinets are filled with china patterns and linens. But that’s not all! The vintage furniture is truly one-of-a-kind. For those who seek an eternal sunshine state-of-mind, you’ll fall in love with the upholstered pieces by Henredon, Hickory Chair and Marshall Fields - many decked out in gorgeous yellow silk and cotton damask fabrics - and the vintage pink Art Deco Chinese Peking rugs! Vintage mahogany chests and cabinets, light fixtures, holiday decor and an eclectic art collection round out the mix.
This on-line portfolio is just a small representation of the treasures available for rehoming! We’ll continue to add photos through the week of the sale.
