PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF RALPH JONES AND SCOTT BROWN (LOTS 386-423) This collection reflects 25 years of collecting to assemble a specific synthesis of Italian, French, and German antiques, which work together from the points of view of quality and scale. Assembled to work in many different situations -most recently in a Florentine palazzo- it has been presented in 20 various publications throughout the world, functioning in Modern as well as Classical settings, adapting to many diverse houses over the past 25 years. Having been based in Europe, in particular Italy, for the past 14 years this sale represents a transition to the next 20 years in which RALPH SCOTT are programming another collection to mirror their evolvement, designing from their new base: Sicily, specifically Palermo. To accommodate their philosophy as innovators of design, RALPH SCOTT define their work as people involved with people, designing lifestyles and interpreting personal taste for those who prefer emphasizing their acute sensibilities and preferences in a constantly changing and challenging new world.
