A PAIR OF CHINESE FAMILLE VERTE VASES WITH COVERS

These vases once formed part of the collection of Mr and Mrs Saul Steinberg which evolved over many years and included important English and Continental furniture, Old Master paintings, works of art, silver and porcelain. The setting for the collection was Apartment 15, 740 Park Avenue, a prime location in Manhattan: The apartment was previously owned by John D. Rockefeller, Jnr. This apartment block was designed by Rosario Candela and Arthur Loomis Harmon, the design partners of Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, architects of the Empire State Building. The Steinberg's apartment was carefully redecorated by the renowned interior decorator Mark Hampton.
