The contents of Turtle Walk – the Taos, New Mexico home of renowned fashion icon and art collector Millicent Rogers (Am., 1902-1953) – will be at the center of an auction planned for Feb.22-23 by Charlton Hall Auctions, online and in the firm’s gallery in West Columbia, S.C. Start time both days is 11 am Eastern. Online bidding provided by Invaluable.com. Mary Millicent Rogers was the granddaughter of Henry Huddleston Rogers, Sr., an original founding partner of Standard Oil. As heiress to her family’s vast wealth, Ms. Rogers was able to indulge her passions for travel, fashion, romance (she was married three times and had romances with Clark Gable, Ian Fleming and the Prince of Wales) and, most importantly, Southwestern-style art and jewelry. While visiting Taos, N.M. with friends, she was taken by the beauty and culture of the American Indians. She bought a rundown 17th century house, renovated it, named it Turtle Walk and became a permanent resident of Taos. She immersed herself in the art, jewelry and culture of the Pueblo, Hopi, Navajo, Apache and Zuni tribes and incorporated Indian designs throughout the house. She also became a dedicated champion of Native American civil rights. Fior info, visit www.charltonhallauctions.com.
