An Architect’s Auction

Giles Newby Vincent is an architect, interior decorator and garden designer. In fact, he was Sir Elton John’s architect and decorator. So you know he’s fabulous!

He’s in the process of selling his house, The Old Rectory, an 18th century pile in Kent, England and Bonham’s is auctioning off his goods.

Here’s Mr. Newby Vincent’s collecting strategy, “When I look for objects, there are two precepts that drive me: how good an example of its kind it is and how difficult it is to find.” So, now you know he’s going to have amazing things.
