Specialist note

The artist and designer Tony Duquette was good friends with Beverly Coburn (Kelly), first-wife to Hollywood actor James Coburn. Beverly and James lived together in a Spanish Colonial Revival home designed in 1927 by Harry Werner. In the late 1960s, Duquette decorated the interior with signature exuberant pieces, such as the present gilt wood and plaster 'Sunburst' mirror, which hung over the living-room doorway.
