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 Sotheby's 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. Epstein's 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 Toque 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
