Believe it or not as London's Savoy Hotel is closing its doors on December 15 for an extensive renovation, it will offer some of the furnishings for sale in an auction by Bonhams.
The bidding will take place from December 18 to 20th.
Amongst the items some of you might want to pick are beds of the rich and famous.
"For around 500 pounds ($1100 depending on the exchange rate), you can chose from over 200 “celebrity” beds (Maria Callas, Elizabeth Taylor, Winston Churchill, The Beatles, Noel Coward, Bob Dylan stayed here!) complete with laundered bed linen and mattresses" quotes Pam Kent in London’s Savoy: Own a Piece of Hotel History (Globespotters).
If your giant dining room begs for an eye catching piece, one of the 24 chandeliers might do.
For a look at prices and a detailed list of what's on offer, check Bonhams, the Savoy Sale and get your travel plans ready.
If you do not have time to attend, we would be glad to represent you.
Just fly us there!
