Christies announces a fall auction calendar of distinguished private collections offering an outstanding season of fresh to the market fine and decorative arts from four of the most renowned names associated with collecting, philanthropy and defining taste in 20th Century America. With a decidedly European thread, three of the four collections are marked by collaboration with the French interior designer Henri Samuel. Estimates range from as little as $500 to $1 million.

The French Heritage Society, in collaboration with Christie's Education, are offering a four-part series of complimentary online conversations on the decorative arts entitled HAUTE HOMES, coinciding with each of the sales.
