NEW YORK, NY -- Gracious entertaining is back as collectors, designers and influencers drove exceptional results for stylish accessories that elevate the art of hosting. Bidders from coast to coast and overseas drove exceptional prices at the popular Entertaining with Style sale on August 13, 2025, resulting in a total that far exceeded expectations! This exciting auction showcased an array of stylish items to inspire gracious entertaining at home, including delicate crystal and porcelain for the table, silver flatware, candlesticks and serving pieces, barware, furniture, artwork, and more.
Highlighting the sale was an extensive porcelain dinner service by Rosenthal in the Magic Flute Sarastro pattern that soared past its estimate of $5,000–7,000 to achieve $19,200. Introduced in 1969 and inspired by Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute, the service was designed by Danish artist Björn Wiinblad, a noted stage and costume designer. Each piece is decorated with whimsical portrayals of the fantastical characters that inhabit the opera’s enchanting world.
Another feature of the sale was an extensive group of Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica porcelain offered in fifteen lots. With a total estimate of $50,000–$73,000, the porcelain drew international competition, pushing the combined total to $112,765. In 1790, King Christian VII of Denmark commissioned Royal Copenhagen—then known as The Royal Danish Porcelain Factory—to produce a dinner service decorated with botanical illustrations from the famous Flora Danica encyclopedia as a gift for Catherine the Great. This meticulously hand-painted pattern remains a perennial favorite around the world.
