The Collection of Mr. & Mrs. John H. Gutfreund 834 Fifth Avenue

Christie’s is honored to present The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. John Gutfreund, 834 5^th Avenue. This legendary New York apartment was initially assembled with the help of Henri Samuel but over the past forty years has been the canvas of Susan Gutfreund, an accomplished collector and decorator in her own right.  Mostly assembled from French dealers and European Auction Houses the interiors reflected a deep knowledge of both history, provenance and style. The best known scheme was the Winter Garden, which has been extensively published but throughout the apartment Mr. and Mrs. Gutfreund collected with a unified eye for detail. The Sale includes French and European Furniture, Important Carpets and Textiles, Decorative Arts, with an extensive grouping of Russian objects and Silver and Porcelains including an extensive Flora Danica service. Important books and bindings round out this live sale.

Viewings are by appointment only, starting 20 January. To make an appointment or for more information, contact Nathalie Ferneau, NFerneau@christies.com
