Lot Essay

Perry Belmont (December 28, 1851 – May 25, 1947), an American politician and diplomat, was the son of Caroline Slidell (née Perry) and financier August Belmont.

Through his mother, he was a descendant of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, who opened Japan’s ports to the West, and helped spark the Victorian craze for “Japonium”). His father, August Belmont, amassed a peerless art collection. In 1906, when Perry Belmont was a Congressman and Ambassador to Spain, he had a mansion built in Washington, D.C., site of elegance, gracious and grand hospitality, where he entertained distinguished diplomats.
