The Italian fashion designer had a fortune worth $500million thanks to his luxury label Versace and the contents of his Mediterranean-style mansion on Miami beach that were auctioned off in 2001.
His distinctive furniture, artwork, and decorative objects generated more than $2.7million.
The owner of this New York penthouse, located on the top two floors, purchased some of the rare furniture for around $50,000, including opulent couches, chairs, tables and rugs.
Versace’s furniture features heavily throughout the unit’s nine rooms although there is an option to purchase the property unfurnished if you want a more modern style.
They are in theme with the fashion designer’s garish style and are decorated with cheetah prints, the Medusa logo and gold hues.
