Special notice

On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is a lot where Christie’s holds a direct financial guarantee interest.

Lot Essay

Henry Ford II's remarkable collection of French furniture was largely formed with the advice of Rosenberg and Steibel, New York. A large proportion of the French furniture and works of art they sold to Ford came directly from the Viennese Rothschilds, as well as Baronne Renée de Becker (née Rothschild).
