The Overland family lived in Jersey for over 40 years, where they enjoyed the amenities of rural life and the privacy that the Channel Islands have to offer. They created a very special home at Mont Pellier, Trinity, which can be seen in the dedication and pride the late Mrs Barbara Overland took in furnishing the house with English furniture, Old Master Paintings and decorative objects. Many of the pieces were acquired with great care and thought to enhance the serene interiors, a characteristic of Mont Pellier, such as the perfectly formed George II mahogany chest, acquired from Norman Adams Ltd, London (lot x) and the captivating trompe l'oeil painting of a letter rack by Edward Collier, acquired from Rafael Valls, London (lot x). Christie's is honoured to have been entrusted with the sale of the contents of Mont Pellier, the proceeds of which will go to benefit the ongoing work of the charitable trust set up in the memory of the Overlands for generations to come.
