Brooke Astor, the legendary NYC queen of philanthropy who entertained heads of state, royalty, and literati at her Park Avenue and Holly Hill residences, passed away in 2007 at the advanced age of 105.\u00a0 Soon after her death, a bitter legal battle ensued for her lavish estate worth hundreds of millions; her son was accused of grossly mishandling her finances and mistreating her as she descended in to dementia.\u00a0 Anthony D. Marshall, her son, was eventually convicted in 2009 for stealing several million dollars from his mother as she was dying.<\/p>\n

However, now that the legal battle for her estate appears to be settled, Sotheby\u2019s can now make Astor\u2019s final wishes come true; before she changed her will due to her son\u2019s coercing while she was suffering from Alzheimer\u2019s, she wish to leave many of her millions to charities she loved such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, and the Animal Medical Center.<\/p>\n

Sotheby\u2019s will be auctioning 901 lots of the late Mrs. Astor\u2019s possessions on September 24 and 25 with the monies raised going to the charities she championed.\u00a0 The items to be auctioned will include furnishings, jewelry, decorative art and many examples of fine art.<\/p>\n

As Mrs. Astor was well-known for having impeccable taste, the auction will certainly be drawing attention from serious art collectors and experts.\u00a0 Among the treasures to be sold will be Louis XV chairs, drawings by old masters, bejewelled keepsakes of carved ivory, and a priceless collection of fine bone china including her favourite teapots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
