Amazing old chateau heirlooms with a tinge of sadness...........



A stunning array of treasures all started to be sold by auction in Paris today. All from the beautiful Chateau de Bigoine .

Stunning is not the right word...breathtaking......heart stopping.....beguiling......

Have a leaf through the sales catalogue here..................( give it a little time for each page to load)

136 pages of heaven! 

I didn`t attend, I couldn`t bear the disappointment of not being able to win anything and also the sadness of seeing all those wonderful items scattered around the globe as the international bids flew in by telephone and over the internet.

What would you have liked to take away with you?

    Oh, I would have loved a set of those low sitting cane chairs, any of the chambre chairs, to be honest.
