River Ranch: The Collection of Carole Harris represents over three decades of thoughtful collecting, a passion for interior design and a lifelong pursuit of beauty and self-expression. Raised on a farm in California, Carole Harris had a deep connection to nature which would later influence her style and affinity for fruit forms, animals, and organic motifs across her collection of Furniture, Fine Art and Decorative Arts.
Mrs. Harris assembled an extraordinary collection of English, Italian, and French furniture, as well as Fine Art, Porcelain, Silver, and Jewelry, sourcing treasures from notable, world-class collections at auction. The Harrises Louis XIV-style chateau in the Central Valley of California was a labor of love, designed in collaboration with Sister Parish and the esteemed firm Parish-Hadley.
Highlights include a George I Bottle Green and Gilt-Japanned Bureau Cabinet, attributed to John Belchier, a Louis XIV Ormolu-Mounted Marquetry and Verre Églomisé cabinet, fine giltwood mirrors, porcelain flowers and topiaries by Vladimir and Clare Potter, porcelain fruits and vegetables by Lady Anne Gordon, and themes of flora and fauna across decorative arts categories. Fine Art highlights include a series of dog paintings by artists such as Piet van der Hem and Philip Eustace Stretton, works by Carl Holsoe and George Oakes, a group of Louis XVI–style grisaille paintings, and more.
