This one-of-a-kind house was featured in the 1962 edition of Architectural Digest, as well as the Los Angeles Times, Home Builder and Remodeling Magazine, House and Garden Magazine, and Designer West Magazine. Originally crafted by Bray Architects, this timeless residence is rumored to have been a filming location for the original Ocean's 11 and Diamonds Are Forever, in addition to hosting two separate glamorous photo shoots featuring the talents of Ben Affleck and Laura Dern, as shown in the photos below. Now is your chance to own a piece of history; Kent and his wife Margi, with their Mid-Century style expertise, personally designed the house themselves, including monumental Mid-Century front doors, elegant handmade wooden Goshi screen divider pieces, a space-age kitchen hanging cabinet straight out of the Jetsons, and remarkable Mid-Century drawer pulls, many of which are solid bronze. Additionally, we offer unique bathroom hardware, including some original Mid-Century bathroom lighting that can be used anywhere. All these items will be individually listed in separate groups for your consideration.

Presenting a collection of nine vintage Shoji Screens that once adorned the private dining room of the iconic Oppenheimer residence. These screens, characterized by their Mid-Century aesthetic, exude timeless elegance with clean lines and a classic look. Unfortunately, the tracks were not salvageable, but the screens themselves remain remarkable pieces of the era’s design. We plan to sell these screens in pairs, allowing you to customize the number to suit your space. These screens are in excellent condition given their age, showcasing the character and craftsmanship that define Mid-Century design.

This auction is for a SINGLE pair of doors with four pairs total available and selling the 9th screen separate, as it has the housing for the rest of the screens, which can be taken off if need be. Please see other listing. less
