Christie’s will offer the collection of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Gutfreund in a series of sales in January, that will scatter the English and French furniture, carpets, and textiles, Chinese ceramics, and other carefully chosen pieces of decorative arts that filled the couple’s Fifth Avenue apartment.
The sales estimated to achieve between US$4.8 million and US$7.4 million for the 665 lots also include runway jewels from the House of Chanel, that Christie’s says were given to Susan Gutfreund by Karl Lagerfeld, the late designer, as well as books and bindings that filled the couple’s library.
