Eleanor Post Close was a member of a unique dynasty whose influence spanned several continents from the 18th Century to the present day. Eleanor's mother Marjorie Merriweather Post was the sole heir to the General Food Company, which she inherited from her father, Charles W. Post, at the start of the 20th Century. With a keen eye for business as well as art, she built the palatial Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Mrs Post was known for her eclectic style, love of travel and passion for interiors and gardens, which she passed on to her daughter Eleanor, thus continuing the family legacy of collecting remarkable objects.
