A sale which celebrates the best of international interior design and decoration is to be held by Christie’s in South Kensington, London on June 4. Following a very successful collaboration last July Christie’s invited Sibyl Colefax and John Fowler to contribute to a carefully curated selection of 60 lots which celebrates the world class reputation of Colefax and Fowler. It will be offered alongside a collection formed over the course of a lifetime by the late Melbourne born interior designer Lex Aitken and his partner, the fashion illustrator and designer Alfredo Bouret Gonzalez. The auction includes furniture, ceramics, pictures, lighting and decorative objects with estimates from £300 to £80,000.
