Estate of Antoine and Ruth Cordahi - Act 1

This will be the first of several sales to liquidate the extraordinary estate of Antoine and Ruth Cordahi. Laurie McRae Interiors is honored to have been chosen to bring this amazing collection to you. I have never seen this quantity of items in one modest home. Antoine and Ruth met in Egypt, where he lived and she studied abroad. Their study and love of the arts brought them together and guided their lives. It took 5 box truck and high top van loads to empty the house. If you have the same love of fine exotic things that Antoine and Ruth showed,  join us for the opportunity to own a piece of history. The collection includes their discoveries from scouring antique shops and purchases from their time living and traveling abroad.
