Maybourne Hotel Group, renowned for managing iconic hotels such as Claridge’s, The Connaught, and The Berkeley, has partnered with NCM Auctions to auction off a remarkable archive of stored pieces dating back over one hundred years.
This extensive collection showcases the work of esteemed names in the design world, including David Linley, David Collins, and Ben Whistler. Spanning three auctions, the collection comprises antique furniture, bespoke commissioned pieces, lighting fixtures, artwork, and various other items that have adorned the group’s three prestigious London hotels.
In a refreshing departure from conventional practices within the hospitality sector, Maybourne Hotel Group has chosen to collaborate with NCM Auctions to sell its entire collection, adopting a sustainable and circular approach. This unique undertaking allows the public access to these remarkable pieces for the very first time and offers a positive impact on the local community, small businesses, and charities. By diverting these items from landfills and giving them a second life through reuse, repair, and recycling within the circular economy, the initiative also helps reduce the storage impact for Maybourne Hotel Group.
The collection will be presented through three exclusive online auctions, with the first auction scheduled as a live event on the 27th of July 2023. Interested parties can now explore the catalogues and register their interest at https://ncm.auction/claridges. This provides an opportunity to acquire unique pieces from the illustrious history of Claridge’s and Maybourne Hotel Group while embracing sustainability and supporting a circular economy approach.
