Jacqueline de Ribes is selling her family heirlooms at Sotheby’s.
QUEEN OF PARIS: Socialite style is all the rage: Sotheby’s is preparing to auction off the collection of Count and Countess de Ribes, ranging from rare paintings and books to the contents of the family mansion.
Considered by many to be the epitome of Parisian elegance — whom Valentino once dubbed “The Last Queen of Paris” — Jacqueline de Ribes was among the Swans written about by Truman Capote and was photographed by Richard Avedon. Now 90, she lost her husband Edouard in 2013. Mario Tavella, managing director of Sotheby’s France and chairman of Sotheby’s Europe, said it was a “huge honor” to be entrusted with the historic collection, which is distinguished by its quality, state of preservation and provenance, with some pieces directly handed down from Queen Marie Antoinette.
