Auction: Christie’s Interiors

On Wednesday August 28th, Christies will hold an Interiors auction at Rockefeller Center in New York City. As we browsed through the catalogue we noticed some stand out pieces, which we imagine to have rich stories and histories. All the objects in the auction are one-of-a-kind, making them that much more unique to designers and collectors. Below we’ve selected a few of our favorites. (See the full auction here.)

An American silver gilt dressing table mirror, Marked for Dominick & Haff, 20th Century, monogrammed, marked ‘Sterling’
