クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「We're honored to present Christie's Living: August Collections including property from the collection of Newport grande dame Marion Oates Charles including European and English furniture, silver, ceramics and fine art as well as jewelry by Verdura, Henry Dunay and Seaman Schepps.⠀ .⠀ Known as 'Oatsie', Charles was born on 29 September 1919 and eventually become one of the most celebrated hostesses of Washington, D.C. and Newport, R.I. 'Everything in the house had a story and meant something,' explained her grandson photographer Nick Mele, who captured the image of Charles in her Newport home seen here. ⠀ .⠀ 'She had a biting wit and charm that would let her get away with stuff that most people would never dream of saying,' Mele added. 'She felt instantly comfortable with a prince as she did with staff in the kitchen.'⠀ .⠀ Charles' oceanfront Newport estate — known as Land's End — was once owned by novelist Edith Wharton. ⠀ .⠀ Now open for bidding, Christie's Living: August Collections offers an eclectic array of fine and decorative arts, design, jewelry, and gold boxes from American collections.⠀ .⠀ Christie's Living: August Collections — 7 - 20 August, online.⠀ .⠀ #interior #interiordesign #decor #design #eclectic #august #summer #online #newyork #christies #decortivearts #oatsiecharles #newport #socialite @nickmelephotography」8月8日 5時48分
