Hollywood History Beverly Hills estate arriving Tuesday the 22nd @ Estate Sale Warehouse

We spent all day loading two trucks and trailers at Beverly Hills estate that was truly a time capsule. The home was located directly across from the Beverly Hills Hotel. The two photos included with this email show the entrance to the house from the motor court and the view of the Beverly Hills Hotel from the front yard.

 

The estate was owned by an Academy award winning Hollywood director whose career spanned 5 decades. He was once married to a Hollywood starlet who died way too young. Their only offspring went on to make a huge name for herself in her own right. Have you guess it yet? Come in tomorrow for the answer.

 

Highlights include some French antiques, Hollywood Regency period furnishings, a pair of huge French two-panel screens, a massive custom hand carved dining table, a unique old Asian style work multiple work station desk, a huge Faux snakeskin covered screen that matched the entry room wall paper, a couple of circa 1900 wicker pieces in need of repair, lots of old books and many art books, vintage clothing, high end newer clothing like Adolfo and others.

 

This is also lots of unique paper items. The paper will take some time to go through so keep checking in over the next couple of weeks for paper items.
