Fresh from being named the UK’s top hotel in The World’s 50 Best Hotels list, Claridge’s is preparing to auction a range of archived items, including pieces from sister hotels The Connaught and The Berkeley.
Maybourne, the group behind these iconic establishments, has teamed up with NCM Auctions once again to showcase a stunning collection of furniture, artwork, and other historic items.
The collection, which spans over a century, includes custom pieces designed by renowned names such as Ben Whistler and David Linley. Other highlights include items from the Marcus Wareing Restaurant and ceramics by John Wigmore.
This significant auction will take place on 25 and 26 September and features antique furniture, unique commissioned works, lighting, fixtures, and artwork from the three renowned hotels.
Maybourne is continuing its commitment to sustainability by partnering with NCM Auctions to extend the life of these treasured pieces and make them available for new owners.
Amy Rutherford, from NCM, said: “We’re delighted to be working with the team at Maybourne again and we can’t wait to bring this collection to a global audience once more with our live hybrid auction. The catalogue features over 600 items and includes iconic pieces from David Linley, exclusively for Claridge’s, seating and tables direct from The Blue Bar, items from the Marcus Wareing Restaurant and many more.”
