Exquisite Craftsmanship and Celebrated Design Furniture and objects from Hermès, indisputably one of the world’s preeminent luxury brands and one of the great houses for master craftsmanship across many categories, rarely finds its way to public auction. Leonard Joel is thrilled to present “An Important Collection of Hermès Interiors” encompassing 62 lots of immaculately crafted furnishings and decoration from the French luxury house. The pieces hail from Hermès’ first ever interiors range, launched at the Milan furniture fair in 2011. The pieces are all brand new and retain their original custom Hermès packaging, along with hand made protective crates and authenticity booklets. Some pieces within the collection are one of a kind, madeto-order, while others are no longer available to purchase directly. Without a doubt, the pièce de résistance of the collection is lot 60,
the Hermès Le Coffre à chaussures cabinet, a breathtaking shoe dresser cased in stunning cobalt blue leather with Tectona Grandis fixtures. Its sublime interior houses shelves in canaletto walnut, with a drop down seat and foot mirror. The attention to detail on every element of this piece is exquisite, right down to the hand-stitched branding. This most anticipated world first auction is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a piece of design history from arguably the world’s most iconic luxury brand, at truly incredible value. — Anna Grassham | Head of Modern Design
