Among Neiman Marcus’ fantasy Christmas gifts this year is a $125,000 bespoke library from French luxury publisher Assouline. Part of the famed retailer’s iconic Christmas Book, the library is a full-fledged installation including custom carpeting, objets d’art, and beautifully framed prints in addition to books.

The shelves will be lined with a one-of-a-kind Assouline collection, consisting of 250 current and vintage volumes in the genre of the purchaser’s choice. Furnishings include a custom Didot carpet, two Modigliani-style sculpture bookends, two antique director’s chairs, a Didot cashmere throw,
a lacquer and bronze coffee table, a brass floor lamp, five Jean-Michel Berts Photographic Collection prints, a custom sofa, and more.
