About the Item
When it came to decorating his residences, haute-couture iconoclast Karl Lagerfeld (1933–2019) was known for committing completely to a given style—and then dispensing with it. Following an Art Deco chapter in the 1970s, he threw himself into the decorative period he loved as a boy, 18th century French, and started to collect with the guidance of curator and confidant Patrick Hourcade. The pieces would go on to fill Lagerfeld’s home from the 1980s to the 2000s: the 10,753-square-foot ground floor apartment at the Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo, built in 1707 on Paris’s Left Bank. As Vogue editor André Leon Talley put it at the time, “The entire place (and Lagerfeld's mental condition) might best be described as a Versailles complex.”
In a salon, shown here, gilded wall paneling spans from soaring ceiling to floor, where a Savonnerie carpet overlays parquet de Versailles.
Pierre Bergian (Bruges, Belgium, b. 1965) explores the essence of space, depicting architectural interiors with an expressive line that renders them out of time. Bergian lives and works in Bruges, where he continues to be fascinated by the many historic, abandoned buildings there. The artist studied art history and archaeology at the University of Ghent and has exhibited internationally, including at Purdy Hicks Gallery, London; Galerie Laurent de Puybaudet, Paris; Galerie Josine Bokhoven, Amsterdam; and Gerald Bland, New York. His work is conserved in the permanent collection of the British Museum.

Drawing Room of Jayne Wrightsman, 820 Fifth Avenue, New York
By Pierre Bergian
Located in New York, NY
While Jayne Wrightman’s taste was universally recognized as exquisite—she was a peerless collector and long served as a trustee at the Metropolitan Museum of Art—the society grande dame and philanthropist chose to work with Parisian decorators Maison Jansen upon acquiring her palatial Fifth Avenue home. In fact, Jansen had already started; the apartment’s previous owner, private dealer Renée de Becker, had brought them in. Wrightsman and husband Charles continued with Jansen; upon principal Stephane Boudin’s death, they began working with Henri Samuel, thus beginning a long association. While the bones of the room owe much to Jansen, the decoration—the colors, the upholstery, and most of the furnishings—are Samuel. Shown here is the sprawling 31-foot-by-21-foot drawing...

Vase in the Window (Impressionist Floral Still Life of Magenta Pink Peony Flowers in a Vase Against an Off-White Window Scene) by David Konigsberg
oil on panel
50 x 36 x 1.5 inches
no frame required - painting is wired on reverse for easy installation
Signed by the artist, verso
This painting is an exquisite example of the artist's unique ability to capture the very whimsical side of nature. Widely known for painting expansive views of the Hudson Valley where the artist often embarks on extensive hiking trails, Konigsberg also takes to painting more intimate and commonplace household objects. A coffee pot, salt and pepper shaker, or as in this case, a simple bouquet of long stemmed pink peonies careening over the side of a green vase; his use of oil washes capture both fluidity and structure. The fanciful treatment of the flowers calls to mind French Impressionist Toulouse Latrec...
