LONDON, UK. June 4th, 2025 – Design lovers and connoisseur collectors have the chance to own a piece of The Berkeley as British luxury hotel operator Maybourne has once again partnered with NCM Auctions for an exclusive online sale of luxury furniture and fittings from its landmark Belgravia hotel.
The auction includes standout pieces from The Berkeley’s famous Blue Bar, with bespoke Ben Whistler furniture designed by Robert Angell, hand-crafted lighting by Dernier & Hamlyn and premium bar and restaurant fixtures. Items from other parts of the hotel are also available, including Life Fitness gym equipment.
Originally designed by David Collins and later reimagined by Robert Angell Design International, The Blue Bar has long been a destination in its own right, celebrated for its vivid Lutyens blue interiors, hand-crafted detailing, and curated contemporary art. Now this iconic collection of sofas, chairs and lighting is being made available to the public.
It’s a rare chance to pick up designer furniture with an unrivalled pedigree, many of which were made to order for one of London’s most iconic hotels.
This is the latest collaboration between NCM Auctions and Maybourne, following previous successful auctions for Claridge’s, The Connaught and earlier phases at The Berkeley. Together, they’ve helped keep thousands of high-quality pieces in use in a sustainable approach that supports the circular economy and reduces waste.
Amy Rutherford, Partnership Lead at NCM, said: “These are beautiful, well-crafted pieces with a story. It’s a great example of how sustainability for the hospitality industry doesn’t mean compromise. It means extending the life of luxury design. We’re proud to be working with Maybourne again to give these iconic pieces a new chapter.”
Whether bidders are refitting a boutique bar, furnishing a studio, or just looking for a one-of-a-kind centrepiece for their home, this auction is full of rare finds with character and provenance.
Interested bidders can view the catalogue online and register now. Bidding ends 11 June from 12pm.
A viewing day will take place on 10 June by appointment only. For more information, please contact NCM Auction on 01302 898260 or email info@ncmauctions.co.uk.
