SOTHEBY'S lips are sealed, but mention its Oct. 28 and 29 sale entitled ''Property From a Private Collection'' to any serious dealer or collector and the reaction will immediately be nods or winks. Word is out in the art and antiques world that the sale's handsome hardback catalogue shows the furniture, paintings, silver and objects belonging to Claus and Martha (Sunny) von Bulow.

There is nothing unusual about consigners insisting on remaining anonymous. What strikes many in the auction trade as extraordinary - and a signal to buyers - is that while the von Bulow name does not appear anywhere in Sotheby's catalogue, the glossy jacket cover depicts a cappriccio by the artist Felix Kelly of Clarendon Court, the mansion in Newport, R.I., that the von Bulows purchased in 1969. Moreover, scattered throughout the catalogue are photographs of Clarendon Court's grand rooms filled with the extraordinary English furniture and paintings, porcelains and silver that the owners bought over 20 years. The public can view this collection at Sotheby's from tomorrow to Thursday.

People who know Mr. von Bulow, his daughter, Cosima, and his two stepchildren from Mrs. von Bulow's previous marriage, Alexander and Annie-Laurie von Auersperg, say it is the stepchildren who have insisted on anonymity, believing the family has had enough publicity. Mr. von Bulow has been living in Europe since he was acquitted in 1985 in a retrial of charges that he twice tried to murder his wife with insulin injections.

''Everyone in the art world is buzzing,'' said Eugene V. Thaw, a New York art dealer. ''The pieces are too well known to ever have been kept a secret.''

The offerings, which Sotheby's predicts will bring between $6 million and $7.5 million, include not only furnishings from Clarendon Court, but also many pieces from the apartment the couple owned at 960 Fifth Avenue. These objects form a collection that is extraordinary in scope and quality. Consigned to the sale are some fine examples of English furniture and decorations by renowned makers like Pierre Langlois, paintings by George Romney and Sir Joshua Reynolds and silver by Paul Storr.

Nice and soft
Size: Queen, Color: Chambray
Update: I’m very happy with this sheet set! I’m currently only using the fitted sheet as I don’t have a need for the top sheet or pillow cases right now. It hasn’t popped off the mattress at all like the previous cheep sheet I had. Original post: The sheet set arrived today. Haven’t actually tried it yet because I need to wash it first. From I can see, looks great. Once it’s washed and on my bed, and can figure out how to update my review I will do so accordingly. It’s soft like most people have said and the color is nice, though they didn’t have my favorite color purple in a shade I like so I got the ‘fancy blue’ (don’t remember the actual name of the color) because I desperately needed a new sheet of quality.

Very comfy sheets, nice fabric
Size: Full, Color: Oatmeal
I wasn’t expecting such good quality forthis price. They’re very soft, but of fairly thick fabric. I’m sleeping great on them. The pockets are deep enough for an 8” foam mattress plus my 3” topper. Will be getting another set for the second bedroom.

Great Sheets!
Size: Twin, Color: Oatmeal
Super soft, wash up beautifully, seem well made — very happy! It’s very hard to find 100% cotton t-shirt type sheets and these are really lovely.

Weirdly textured
Size: King, Color: Dark Gray
I have bought and loved jersey sheets in the past, that have all been as soft as a well worn cotton t-shirt. These arent soft. They have the stretch of jersey, but not the soft smooth texture that they should have. Even after washing a few times these are one of my least favorite sheets I've ever bought on Amazon.

Soft, Breathable Sheets That Feel Great to Sleep On
Size: Twin, Color: White
This Amazon Basics jersey sheet set was a really good purchase. The cotton material is soft, stretchy, and breathable — it feels like sleeping in a comfortable T‑shirt. The fitted sheet has a nice snug fit that stays in place, and the flat sheet is lightweight without feeling flimsy. The fabric washes well, doesn’t pill, and stays soft after multiple loads. It’s a great everyday sheet set for anyone who likes that cozy, relaxed jersey feel. Overall, comfortable, easy to care for, and great value for the price.
