Joan Rivers’ personal possessions will soon be up for grabs. Christie’s and Melissa Rivers announced Tuesday that items from the late comedian’s New York City penthouse will be up for auction in June.

“The sale at Christie’s this June offers a ‘through the keyhole’ experience for fans across the globe to see and buy items from my mother’s amazing Manhattan penthouse. The auction celebrates her elegance and collecting style,” Melissa Rivers said in a statement.

Among the items that will be available to purchase are an Edouard Vuillard painting, a jeweled Lily of the Valley leaf by Fabergé, and a silver Tiffany dog water bowl engraved with “Spike” that belonged to Rivers’ dog. Cartier jewels and costumes designed by Bob Mackie will also be on the auction block.

Rivers died in 2014, at the age of 81.
