Terence Stamp: A Louis XV stained beech bergère, 18th Century, brown and green geometric upholstery said to be made by Silvana Mangano, both arms are loose, approx. 35in (89cm) wide x 25in (64cm) deep x 39in (99cm) high Footnotes: This is one of two known chairs that was upholstered with fabric woven by Silvana Mangano. 'Geoffrey Bennison always thought he would find me a tapestry for them, but nothing happened. So for seven years I sat looking at these unfinished armchairs. And then I met Silvana Mangano, the great Italian actress and the most refined woman that ever lived. She used to come and have tea with me and she would sit in one of the armchairs. One day she offered to needlepoint it for me. And I said, 'But there are two.' She graciously replied that it was all right and that she would needlepoint both chairs. It took her five years, but they are just beautiful, each one done in slightly different colours.' - Terence Stamp Provenance: From The Terence Stamp Collection This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP TP For auctions held in Scotland: Please refer to the catalogue and/or after-sale information or contact Edinburgh@Bonhams.com for more information.
