VERSAILLES – Group of 14 books on Versailles, its founding, decoration, and patronage, from Mrs. Wrightsman’s personal library. 20-21st centuries.

14 volumes, various sizes. Many in publisher’s bindings, some with original dust jackets, slip covers or archival boxes. Includes texts in English and French.
For an autodidact collector like Mrs. Wrightsman, Versailles provided an exemplum that underlined the importance of synthesizing architecture, landscape, and art to create breathtaking social spaces like her Fifth Avenue apartment—a Versailles in miniature—and the Palm Beach estate where she first hosted the Kennedy family.
