Sorry.)Collection PriveeParis1998An example of this dining table sold for$329,600.00in 2006 at Christie's.That Jouvé is nice too.PrivatsammlungHambourg1998Bubbles!!!!Collection PriveeParis1998You know what Parisians?Y'all suck with the stupid high ceilings.Even the super rich in NYC have to settle for regular ceilings.Collection PriveeParis1998More carpet. Yuck!At least this is sisal.I can halfway stand that unless I have to walk on it barefoot,and then I want to kill.Collezione PrivataRoma1998This would do in a pinch when in Rome.The flowers are so 1988 that is actually hurting my eyes,and not in a good way.Private CollectionNew York1998I bet this is/was:1.
