FURNITURE commissioned by iconic fashion designer Coco Chanel for the Sutherland home of Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, will go under the hammer at an auction next week.
Grosvenor, who was one of the wealthiest men in the world, whiled away summers with Coco, his lover, at Rosehall House in the 1920s.
Having found the house too gloomy, however, Chanel refurbished the mansion by wallpapering and commissioning new, lighter furniture which features in the Scottish Home sale at Bonhams in Edinburgh.
