STANSTED MOUNTFITCHET
.- The ten lots represent one of the largest groups of pieces by Leleu to come to market in recent years. They have been consigned to Sworders by the Greek descendants of Celestine Galani, the wife of shipping magnate John Galani who was a friend of Jules Leleu. Based less than a mile away from the Maison Leleu which was at 65 Avenue Franklin Roosevelt in Paris, Celestine commissioned him in to decorate her entire apartment at 81 Avenue Marceau in the 1940s.
