Mongiardino was one of the most sought after interior designers of the jet society in the 1960's and 1970's, creating sumptuous classic interiors for clients including Marie-Helene and Guy de Rothschild, Gianni Versace, Lee Radziwell, and Valentino Garavani.

These iron Koi came from the estate of Betsy Roosevelt Whitney and John Hay Whitney. Betsy was one of the famous Cushing sisters. They were like movie stars, setting trends and fashions, leading glamorous lives. Their marriages catapulted them into a world of wealth and power.
