Princesse Melikov de Sombetie’s 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Cabriolet de Ville

Dressed in elaborate Saoutchik coachwork with Art Deco details and ornate hand-painted lacquer panel work, this masterpiece was custom ordered by the flamboyant 1930s New England Socialite Rosalie Hooker, formerly known as the Princesse Melikov de Sombetie.

It is known to be the only fully-articulating Cabriolet Saoutchik mounted on the Phantom II chassis.  Gooding & Company is delighted to present this car to the public for the first time in 52 years and suggests its estimate as $ 700,000 - $ 900,000.
