KING LOUIS XV'S COPY OF FAMED MEDAL BOOK FAILS TO SELL

Hadrien Rambach writes: "I am very surprised to report
that the medal book at Christie's in Paris did not sell at
the auction this week. In the same sale, lot 233 sold for
EUR 1,125 including Buyer's Premium - it was a 1645 edition
of Goltzius, a rather worn copy bound in calf.

"The current uncertainties of the market (stock, real-estate,
gold, etc.) may explain this disappointing result, as could
the strikes currently going on in France. Anyway, I therefore
expect the owner to offer it now for private sale, so whoever
buys it may certainly get a bargain!"
