Lot Essay

This telephone comes from Audrey Hepburn’s beloved Swiss home La Paisible, Tolochenaz, Switzerland; two apparently identical telephones were photographed on the tables fanking her four-poster bed there for a magazine article entitled ‘Audrey Hepburn Dotti’ by Curtis Bill Pepper published in Vogue, April 1971.
