Eila Grahame as a debuttante

Eila Grahame (2 October 1935 – 25 November 2009) was an English antiques dealer known for her sure eye and judgement.[1] Her personal effects were sold at auction in 2016 with the proceeds going to the Art Fund and the church of St Mary of the Assumption at Ufford, where she is buried.[2][3] In August 2017, it was reported that previously unknown sketches by Alberto Giacometti were found among the effects in Grahame's shop in Kensington Church Street.[4][5]
