The Luxury Vintage Fashion Department was founded together with the Maison Bibelot Auction House in ‘unsuspected’ times, when auctions of clothes and accessories were the prerogative of the Anglo-Saxon market. The department organised important auctions, which are considered historic. These include the sale of the wardrobe of the journalist Adriana Grassi at Palazzo Guicciardini, the sale of the luxurious haute-couture wardrobe of the writer Anna Rontani in collaboration with Polimoda and, more recently, an auction dedicated to Anastasia Badvaz Polacco, a multifaceted artist.
Many of the clothes and accessories sold in the auctions dedicated to vintage are now on display at the Fashion and Costume Museum of Palazzo Pitti in Florence, at the Gucci Museum and in other important international collections. Special attention is paid to vintage lingerie and its refined embroidery techniques.
