Count Owned Asprey 24ct Gold Green Crocodile Leather 7 Piece Desk Set
About the Item
We are delighted to offer for sale this one of a kind, custom made to order by a Polish Count, complete Asprey Green Crocodile leather with 24ct gold inlaid crown, desk suite
This is pretty much the most luxurious desk set ever made. Custom ordered in the early 90’s by a polish count for the princely sum of £17,000, in today’s money that’s a surreal £41,114. The dealer I purchased it off managed the probate for the sale so they saw all the original purchases prices. The Smythson’s 24ct gold tipped paper which is included was £800 a pad!
This suite is the only green example in the world, it is embossed with the Counts sypher which is a Crown very similar to the Rolex crown. The base of each piece is silk and finished with Asprey in gold
The condition is pretty much retail new so far as I can see, there may be the odd age or transport related patina mark but I can’t see any
The gilt scissors and letter opener come in a wonderful case which is rubber lined so they never slip out, the scissors are also engraved for Asprey

In the early 1920s, he took part in the Venice Biennale, the Monza Biennale, the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and exhibitions in Cologne and Barcelona. His work combines extreme modernity with outstanding technical ability. His creations include the glass windows of the Trieste Stock Exchange, the windows of the Motorship Victoria as well as those of the transatlantic liner Conte di Savoia. In 1932, Pietro Chiesa was asked by Gio Ponti to share in the artistic direction of the newborn FontanaArte, a role that would enable him to give full expression to his creative flair by designing over a thousand different objects (furniture, tables, lamps, glass windows, objets d’art etc). Some of these pieces took their place in the history of design and are still produced by FontanaArte today, such as the Fontana curved table (1932), the Cartoccio vase (1932) and the Luminator floor lamp (1933).
