サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「The Ezra and Cecile Zilkha collection is distinguished by a fine collection of European and Asian porcelain, including a large collection of 18th century Meissen figures of birds, which were placed on giltwood brackets to adorn the dining room and the pastoral murals painted on the walls of their grand Fifth Avenue Home. 18th century Meissen birds of this type were originally conceived to decorate the walls of the Japanese Palace in Dresden, which was owned by the founder of the Meissen factory Augustus the Strong. One gallery, which stretched the width of the palace, was dedicated solely for a ‘porcelain menagerie’ of near life-size birds and animals. Due to their popularity the bird figures were produced on a larger scale to accommodate an eager aristocracy in Europe. Visit 1334 York Avenue this week to explore the wonderous collection before it hits the auction block on Friday, 20 November.
