A remarkable woman of our time, Deborah, Duchess of
Devonshire (1920-2014) led a life as extraordinary as that of her siblings, the
legendary Mitford sisters.
The Duchess was a woman of elegant taste and
sensibility. The wonderful objects with which she lived illustrate so much of
her story, from exquisite jewels gifted by her husband to a rare copy of Brideshead
Revisitedpersonally inscribed by her friend Evelyn Waugh;
all tell of a life well-lived. Painted by Freud and photographed by
Weber, Testino, Beaton and Parkinson, it is the contents of her final home, The
Old Vicarage at Edensor on the Chatsworth estate, which perhaps paint the most
vivid final portrait. This historic auction will offer fine and decorative art,
jewels and the Duchess of Devonshire’s library.
