It continues with remarkable theater drawings, reflecting the extraordinary artistic effervescence that marked the golden age of the Russian stage, where the worlds of ballet, opera, and the avant-garde converged.

The auction also features a refined collectionof silverware, illustrating the incomparable craftsmanship of the great Russian workshops, as well as a selection of historical and military memorabilia that evoke the glory days of imperial history and the upheavals of the 20th century.

Finally, this journey concludes with a significant library, a true treasure trove for enthusiasts and researchers alike. It brings together works devoted to Russian art, rare editions related to Russian emigration, and a collection of archival documents offering a valuable record of Russia’s artistic, intellectual, and historical life.
