Robert Kime | The Personal Collection - An Appreciation Part 1

Paying tribute to the late Robert Kime, listen to Nina Campbell, Annabel Elliot, Liz Elliot, Will Fisher, Robin Birley, Rupert Thomas, and Michael S. Smith reminisce about their fondest moments spent with their great industry hero, mentor, peer, and above all, friend.

Known the world over as a titan of design and the ‘great assembler’ of beautiful things, Robert Kime’s unique eye and aesthetic sensibility led him to become one of the leading design figures of his generation.

The culmination of Robert’s lifetime of collecting will form a three-day auction, charting his passion, curiosity, and delight in beautiful things through the contents of his homes in London and Provence.

Robert’s family hope that this sale will give the opportunity for all collectors, young and old, to enjoy the objects Robert chose to call ‘old friends.’

The auction will take place at Donnington Priory from 4-6 October 2023
