Online Auction Every Monday Night at 7:00PM
This auction features an exclusive collection of furniture and collectibles from the estate of renowned British Stage & Film director Peter Glenville. Glenville's stunning mid-century Brownstone apartment in Manhattan, New York was decorated by designer Geoffrey Bennison and featured in a Christie's New York catalog 2003.
Geoffrey Bennison (1921–1984) was a British interior decorator known for his richly layered, theatrical aesthetic and a distinctive style he described as “something mad on top of something very good, or something very good on top of something mad.” Originally trained as a painter at the Slade School of Art, Bennison shifted to antiques after illness interrupted his studies, opening influential London shops in the 1950s. He became a sought-after designer among elite clients, creating interiors for Terence Stamp, Lord Weidenfeld, the French Rothschilds, and Princess Firyal of Jordan.
His first American commission was the Manhattan apartment of director Peter Glenville, a friend from his Oxford days, a project he maintained for nearly two decades. Though he accepted relatively few commissions, Bennison left a lasting impact on interior design, celebrated in the 2015 monograph Geoffrey Bennison: Master Decorator by Gillian Newberry, his longtime assistant and founder of Bennison Fabrics.
Peter Glenville (1913–1996) was a celebrated British stage and film director whose career spanned both London’s West End and Broadway, as well as Hollywood. He attended Oxford, became president of its Dramatic Society, and began as an actor before shifting into directing, including a role as director at the Old Vic by 1944. He achieved major acclaim in both British and American theater, directing notable productions such as The Browning Version, The Innocents, Separate Tables, and Hotel Paradiso, and later Broadway hits like Becket (1960) and Take Me Along (1959‑60). In cinema, Glenville earned Golden Globe nominations for Me and the Colonel (1958, in International Understanding) and Becket (1964, Best Director), and helmed films starring Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Peter O’Toole, Elizabeth Taylor, and others. After the early 1970s, he retired to Mexico, where he developed a colonial estate, and passed away in New York on June 3, 1996.
