Find the link in my profile, and via my stories today 💕⚜️ More about this beautiful apartment below: “In his diary, Andy Warhol wrote that this home “was an old-fashioned kind of living.

How can it last?” Owned by financier Ezra Zilkha and his wife, Cecile, the Fifth Avenue apartment—as seen exclusively in T&C’s November 2020—was a modern-day salon for the business, political, and creative elites, each room shimmering with infinite riches. “[Cecile] went to every museum, antiques shop, and château and became an expert in every style, from Louis XIV through Empire,” says Bettina, daughter of the late owners.
