When the late Lauren Bacall's long time apartment at the Dakota was listed for $26 million in November, the photos accompanying the listing were drab, showing the apartment after it had been stripped of nearly all of the actress's possessions. Bacall had lived in the three-bedroom for over five decades, and now many of the items that were inside are headed to the auction block.
Bonham's is hosting the auction later this month, and inside their catalog they include photos of Bacall's apartment as it looked when she lived in it. Click through for a look (she sure had a lot of things!)—and if you see anything you like, here's the catalog (PDF), which includes the starting bids on each item. [via Curbed]
