There are moments in the history of art and interior design when everyday life seems to have stopped being merely everyday. When even a group of figurines on a side table became an expression of imagination, refinement, and the art of social living. The elegance of European porcelain was never just a matter of function—it was a conversation piece, a status symbol, and a window onto an idealized world.
In this themed auction, you will find pieces from a richly furnished collector’s home, where delight in and affection for decorative porcelain have long been at the heart of the interior. Lidded urns adorned with floral motifs in delicate patterns, candelabra in soft pastel hues, and figurines that evoke the stages of ballet and opera. A collection that reminds us how a room can begin to speak—if only it is given something beautiful to speak about.
