AN EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF FINEST SPIRITS SPANNING THREE CENTURIES FROM THE CELLARS OF LA TOUR D'ARGENT
Unless otherwise stated, all bottles in this collection, lots 1-118, are offered in bespoke wooden presentation boxes with Christie's/La Tour d'Argent labels displaying the date of this auction.
All 19th century bottles were, until removal for this sale, stored for over a century in cool, damp cellar conditions at La Tour d'Argent in Paris. The bottles are, as you might expect, very bin-soiled, dirty and in many cases with only the remains of labels.
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
