Dreweatts is delighted to have been entrusted with the sale of the collection of Fatima and Eskandar Maleki from their London home, 28 South Street. As globally renowned patrons and art collectors, the sale, taking place on Wednesday 25 September, chronicles their collecting journey, evolving from an inherited appreciation for the traditional to becoming passionate, distinguished and knowledgeable collectors of contemporary art.
Those who have had the pleasure of visiting this most rarefied of Mayfair townhouses, once the home of Barbara Cartland, will know something of this family’s generosity of spirit, hosting lavish parties with extensive buffets of Persian delicacies and grand entertainments.
At the heart of 28 South Street has been the Maleki’s mission to connect people together from all walks of life. It was at the home where collectors met their artists, artists met their patrons and where many people found their future spouses. All set within a wonderland of artistic fusions where Old Master portraits and antique bronzes were placed alongside luxurious upholstery and cutting-edge contemporary art.
