Artcurial has announced the upcoming auction of nearly 1,500 exclusive items from the iconic Ritz Paris, scheduled to take place on the 25th, 26th, and 27th of September.

The collection celebrates over 125 years of history, featuring fine porcelain tableware, crystal glasses adorned with the Ritz emblem, copper kitchenware, and emblematic pieces from the legendary Bar Hemingway and the hotel’s renowned spa.

This auction offers enthusiasts and collectors the unique opportunity to own a piece of the Ritz’s storied past. Items range from copper kitchen sets and ornate service trays to the timeless “Platine” and “Impérial” porcelain collections, created for the Ritz’s 2016 reopening. Among the highlights are pieces like a set of 12 espresso cups and saucers (estimated at €200-400) and the grand banquette from the Bar Hemingway (estimated at €1,500-2,000).

Public viewings of selected lots will be held at the Hôtel Marcel Dassault on the 21st, 23rd, and 24th of September 2024, prior to the auction.
