a superb collection of antiques, art and furniture.

This palazzo and your photos are gorgeous. The paintings are wonderful as is that chandelier/lantern in the piano nobile
What beautiful pieces. I often wish that antiques could talk, would they have stories to tell us!
Ohhhhh I love all of them, but the one that is my favorite is the bust by Lecompte...good luck with the sale. Treasures! xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
Albarosa: You've caught me trigger happy. I just bought Tony Duquette's orange sofa from his San Francisco apartment, on One King's Lane!! Yes, I am interested in prices.
Best,
Liz

Some wonderful items for sale. Sadly, at my age I am selling.
The minitures would be hard to resist.

These are all fabulous pieces, Albarosa, esp. that lantern. I hope your week is off to a good start! xx
What an amazing place! How I would love a pied a terre in Venice. Perhaps a bit above my budget. Who would like to pitch in? :)
Love the Terrazzo floor. Italians know how to do that best! The parquetry work on the secretary is stunning.
Cheers,
Claudia
That iron lantern is very nice and the Venetian secretaire tempt me the most. Sadly, I cannot be serious about purchasing though.
