Paris – Christie’s is pleased to announce the sale of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Guest’s Collection, which will be offered in the 500 years: Decorative Arts Europe sale on 22 April in Paris. The decoration of the Guest’s estate, overlooking the Parc Monceau, was created by the famous interior designer Emilio Terry in the mid 1960’s. Highlights include two works designed by Emilio Terry: a marble neoclassical fireplace (estimate: €8.000-12.000) and a unique magnificent carpet (estimate: €20.000-30.000, illustrated above), as well as an 18th century royal encoignure by the celebrated cabinet maker Jean-Henri Riesener for the Château de Compiègne, which embodies the Louis-XVI style (estimate: €20.000-30.000). Comprising approximately 200 works the remarkable collection is expected to realise in the region of €1 million.
Simon de Monicault, Head of the Furniture Department, points out: “Terry was one of the major figures of the 20th century interior design. Complete ensembles such as this one are very rare on the market.” He adds “The apartment of the Ambassador and Mrs. Raymond Guest, untouched since it was put together, holds an incontestable importance in Emilio Terry’s work, and will no doubt attract interest from connoisseurs around the world.”
