AUCTION DETAILS
Sotheby’s, in association with the Leclère-mdv, is honoured to announce the sale of the Robert Zellinger de Balkany collection in Paris, in September 2016 during the Biennale des Antiquaires.This exceptional collection, assembled over more than fifty years by Robert Zellinger de Balkany, comes from the Hôtel de Feuquières at Rue de Varenne, Paris. A passionate and exacting collector, Robert Zellinger de Balkany lived in a setting that was both welcoming and luxurious, illustrating the refined way in which this prominent businessman chose to live.
The house is divided between reception rooms and more intimism private apartments decorated by Henri Samuel. The private apartments provide a moving testimony of the interior designed by Henri Samuel in the 1980s and commissioned by Robert Zellinger de Balkany. They were filled with works little known to the public but now highly sought-after by leading collectors. This beautiful second ensemble of nearly 600 lots is a subtle mix of paintings, furniture, timepieces, works of art, books, silver, fabrics and pietre dure. It offers a wide range of objects and furniture with various estimates from €300 to €80,000.
