EntSun News/11073599
The auction celebrates the life and legacy of Iris Apfel (1921-2024), a style icon, tastemaker, and fashion-world firecracker, known for her outspoken personality and oversized eyeglasses. Online bidding is available on several platforms.
BOONTON, N.J. - EntSun -- A special three-day, single-owner auction celebrating the life and legacy of Iris Apfel (1921-2024) – the style icon, tastemaker, and fashion-world firecracker – will be held October 15th, 16th and 17th, by Millea Bros. Ltd., online and live in the Millea Bros. Ltd. gallery, located at 607 Myrtle Avenue in Boonton, beginning at 10am Eastern Time each day.
As the final trove from her personal collection, the sale includes the remaining contents of her two New York City apartments, her Palm Beach residence, and several personal storage units. Ms. Apfel's legacy comes vividly to life in this concluding chapter of her remarkable collection. Items reflect her signature "more-is-more" aesthetic – bold, eclectic and joyful.
On offer is a dazzling mix of vintage and contemporary fashion, costume jewelry, couture, and accessories, alongside an eclectic array of furnishings, artwork, and decorative objects. In all, a total of 1,173 lots will cross the auction block. Notably, most items carry modest pre-sale estimates, making the sale accessible to a wide audience, just as Iris would have wanted.

The auction is titled, Apfelicious! / The Iris Apfel Sale. "This auction is a final invitation into Iris's world -- the bold color, the risk-taking, and the unapologetic joy she brought to every space and garment," said Mark Millea of Millea Bros. Ltd. "Even in absence, her personality lives on through these objects, and we're honored to share that legacy with collectors both new and old."
Highlights include Chinese textiles, many of them exhibited at the Newark Museum's Dragon Threads in 1992; fashion pieces that were famously exhibited in Rara Avis: Selections from the Iris Barrel Apfel Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2005–06; French and Continental furniture and decorative arts; and Venetian hand-painted furniture and porcelains.
Iris Apfel was born Iris Barrel on August 29, 1921. She was an American businesswoman, interior designer, and fashion designer, known for her flamboyant style, outspoken personality and oversized eyeglasses. In business with her husband, Carl Apfel, from 1950-1992, Iris had a career in textiles, including a contract with the White House that spanned nine presidencies.
