Karl Lagerfeld - Deux cartes postales et collages originaux adressées à Jacques de Bascher - 1988

An exceptional and extremely rare set of two intimate and personal cards from Karl Lagerfeld, addressed to his longtime partner, Jacques de Bascher. These pieces bear witness to their unique relationship and offer a privileged glimpse into their private sphere.
The lot comprises:
- A first thick postcard with a black-and-white striped border: On the back is handwritten in pencil “for Jacques, memory of Rome,” framing an era black-and-white photographic print depicting a woman holding a mandolin and leaning against a tree. The card also bears Karl Lagerfeld’s characteristic monogram discreetly traced on the side.
- A second card handwritten in gold ink: Written in Karl Lagerfeld’s own hand with his flamboyant signature, beginning with “My dear Jacquard,” and mentioning their dog Mr Ashton. This card is adorned with a small pasted visual representing Mr Ashton in a garden.
Condition:
Original condition remarkable for personal archival documents. Paper slightly aged with time, attesting to their authenticity. Normal signs of use (see detailed photos).
