Re: Jeffrey Epstein

Hello Joanna,

I'm an assistant to Jeffrey Epstein who has several items he wishes to auction off. I will send photos of these items in the next 3 emails. I don't know what the process is in order to do this if you could please let me know. Thank you very much!

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us about this. I'll ask my colleagues in the specialist department for estimates and get back to you.

All best,

Joanna

Hi Joanna,

Wondering if you have any feedback from the photos of the items I sent you? I found some info on a few of the items if it is helpful for you:

The 2 armchairs were purchased from █████████ in 1996 for $6,224. They are first quarter 19th Century Biedermeier cherry armchairs.

The 4 sconces were purchased from Christies in 2004 for $8700.

Thank you,

Also, in terms of the paintings, the second one is by Tocque and is very nice. Do you know who painted the other ones? Can you provide any further info on this? Thanks.

Hi Joanna,

I'm just wondering if there is any interest from Christies for any of Mr. items which he wishes to auction? If not, I will go with another auction house, but wanted to make sure you had no interest in anything before I do.

Thank you!

Yes, that sounds great. He would like to proceed. Thank you!

Hi [ ],

We would be delighted to offer the Tocque portrait at an estimate of $40,000 - 60,000. I would suggest it for our Old Master Painting Arts of France sale on 27 January 2012.

We are delighted to be able to offer you terms of sale of flat 5% commission rate.

Please let me know if Mr. Epstein is agreeable and I will send you the contract.

All best,

Joanna

Great.

Can you please confirm which address we should use on the contract?

Thanks!

Dear [ ],

I am pleased to attach the contract and schedule of property for Mr. Epstein's consignment. Please have him sign both documents where indicated and return to me at your earliest convenience. I will promptly return a countersigned copy for your files.

I am cc'ing my assistant Madeline who can assist with arranging for the painting to be delivered. The easiest might be for you to have someone drop it off at Christie's. I'll let you coordinate those details with Madeline.

Please let us know if you have any further questions, or if we can help with anything else.

All best,

Joanna

HI Madeline,

Can I please arrange to drop this painting off tomorrow? What is the address to drop off and what time is good?

Thanks,

Should you have any questions, please let us know.

All the best,
