Wasn't there a lot of publicity about the recent Bunny Williams auction?
It had all the ingredients for a juicy story with history and provenance and a time in history that went with the person and yet we all tried to hold on to through her artifacts.
Well London does provenance and history just that tad deeper
if I may say...
There is an auction coming up this week at Sotheby's which is the objects that were in the Holland Park home of the late last surviving child of Winston Churchill.
The sign below is what was written next to this desk recreated
as it was in Holland Park.
As luck would have it there was a lecture and talk by people who recounted personal stories of the family. The crowd was full of people who seemed to either know her or met her and there was great conversations I overheard while viewing the objects.
It was unusual in that they recreated areas of her homes.
But if I were related to her this arrangement would have made me too emotional that I would have ripped up the contract
and stopped the sale.
The curators set up areas of her home exactly as it was in real life.
This is an example of recreating her home.
