1997 Sotheby's The Duke and Duchess of Windsor Vintage Auction Catalogue- 3 Book Set

The 1997 Sotheby's catalogue for The Collection of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor is considered one of the most important royal auction catalogues ever produced. It wasn't just an auction listing—it is essentially a detailed photographic record of the Windsors' private world
The collection came from the Windsors' Paris residence at 4 Route du Champ d'Entraînement, where they lived after Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson. After Wallis died in 1986, the contents of the house remained largely untouched until they were catalogued and sold. The sale included more than 40,000 objects and ultimately realized over $23 million. Some of the items that were most famous and pictured are...

The desk on which King Edward VIII signed the Instrument of Abdication.
The Duke's clothing, which had enormous influence on 20th-century men's fashion.
Thousands of personal photographs and letters.
Wallis's couture wardrobe.
Portraits, sporting trophies, and royal gifts.
Countless pug-themed objects, reflecting the couple's love of pugs.

Condition: Good unmarked condition. Slipcase has minimal wear. See photos.
