Christie's: May 23, 1994 Mere Hall, Knutsford Cheshire, 1st Ed

About the Item

Christie's: May 23, 1994 Mere Hall, Knutsford Cheshire. Sold on behalf of the Executors of the late Mrs. Helen Langford-Brooke. Christie’s presents the two-day sale of A Palladian Villa by Michael S. Smith taking place 23-24 April. Encompassing over 450 lots, the sale will include contemporary art, English furniture, Old Master paintings, Chinese works of art and antiquities from a remarkable private property designed by Michael S. Smith, one of the most venerated figures in interior design. The inspiration for the design, which was the subject of Smith’s book "Building Beauty: The Alchemy of Design," published by Rizzoli New York, was drawn directly from the architecture of the house, a Palladian villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This concept allowed Smith to create a home that was informed by a classical sensibility but within a modern context, filled with extraordinary art and furnishings that span the past 500 years. NPT Books a division of N.P. Trent Antiques has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
