Tresor is partnering with Nadeau's Auction Gallery to conduct an on-site auction of the Eileen Slocum Estate at The Harold Brown Villa. The massive 13,962-square-foot home was built in 1895 by Harold Brown, son of John Carter Brown (the namesake of Brown University) and Sophia Augusta Brown, a descendant of Roger Williams. The interior and it's furnishings are inspired by the Browns’ honeymoon to Paris. Designer Ogden Codman — a contemporary of Edith Wharton — used pieces the Browns purchased in France, including furniture once owned by Napoleon, as focal points in the design.
In the mid-1950s, the estate was sold to Harold’s niece, Eileen Slocum, a prominent socialite. As family tell us, when Eileen Slocum moved in, she did virtually nothing. And, the estate remains a bit of a time capsule today with most of the treasures purchased by family members still in the home. Many of the pieces in the auction are pieces that the Browns commissioned Mr. Codman to make for the home. He used the French pieces as design inspiration and the A.H. Davenport Co. of Boston manufactured the furniture.
This home is full of treasures. I have included a few images here but for the entire list of of 400 lots and their descriptions, please go to Nadeau's Auction Gallery's website, www.nadeausauctions.com of use this link, https://www.nadeausauction.com/auction-catalog/?auction=1168
