Step Inside Iris Apfel's World: Millea Bros. Auctions Off 1,100 Lots from the Icon's Legendary Homes
BOONTON, N.J., Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Millea Bros. is pleased to announce Apfelicious! • The Iris Apfel Sale: a special three-day single-owner auction celebrating the life and legacy of Iris Apfel, the style icon, tastemaker, and fashion-world firecracker. Scheduled for October 15–17, 2025, the sale features the remaining contents of Iris's two New York City apartments, her Palm Beach residence, and several personal storage units.
This final offering provides the most immersive glimpse yet into Iris's world. With over 1,100 lots, the collection invites viewers to see the world not just as Iris did, but through Iris—through her signature glasses, her sense of humor, her deep love of global design, and her unapologetically expressive approach to life.
"You have to know yourself before you can find your own style," Iris once said. The objects in this sale reflect that philosophy with flair: a joyful, Apfelicious mix of color, texture, pattern, and personality. From tribal jewelry to French fauteuils, from leopard-print throws to Pop Art accessories, from witty objects to worldly textiles, the offerings capture the spirit of a woman who never played by the rules and never blended in.
Importantly, this is a sale designed to be lived with. Most items carry modest estimates and are refreshingly accessible, offering something for seasoned collectors and curious first-timers alike. It's not just an estate auction—it's a celebration of a life well and colorfully lived, and a chance to carry that vision home.
Auction Dates:
October 15–17, 2025, beginning at 10:00 AM ET each day.
