Contents of the Best-Selling Mystery Novelist's Elegant Duplex at 10 Gracie Square on Manhattan's Upper East Side
NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle’s auction of The Jane Stanton Hitchcock Collection on January 21, 2026 achieved exceptional results and a sale total that doubled expectations. The landmark single-owner auction offered artwork, furniture, decorations, silver, Asian works of art, books and more from the best-selling mystery novelist’s Manhattan duplex at 10 Gracie Square. This elegant residence was decorated over the years by three distinguished interior designers – Mark Hampton, Genevieve Faure and Bunny Williams.
Highlighting the sale was an exquisite 19th century Indian watercolor of a purple-faced Langur, a tree-dwelling primate native to Sri Lanka. This rare and meticulously executed work attracted international competition, sending the piece soaring to an impressive $38,400. “Company School” works such as this were originally commissioned by the East India Company for British collectors, and the current international market for rare examples of this type remains very strong.
Additional noteworthy results include a set of twelve Regency mahogany dining chairs that achieved $16,640, a Navajo Third Phase Chief’s blanket that sold for $16,640, and a pair of plaster shell lamps by Frances Elkins that realized $12,800, all surpassing their respective estimates.
Additional property from the Collection will be offered in select sales later this spring. Read more about Jane Stanton Hitchcock, Click Here
