Nubar Gulbenkian (Armenian: Նուբար Սարգիս Գյուլբենկյան, 1896 – 1972)
The Steeple Times
This Harrow educated eccentric, Santa Claus lookalike and playboy had two Austin FX4 Hackney carriages converted to his own specifications and considered the best number for a dinner party to be two (himself and “a damn good head waiter”). A lover of the courtroom who almost always wore a fresh orchid in his lapel, thrice married Nubar Gulbenkian once stated: “I’ve had good wives, as wives go, and as wives go, two of them went”. They don’t create true bon vivants of this type anymore.
