260 numbers of antique drawings and paintings, furniture and curiosities, carpets and tapestries, with estimates starting at a few hundred euros - €300/350 for an engraved map of the Atlantic Ocean by the king's geographer Georges-Louis Le Rouge - and climbing to over €20,000 - €15,000/20,000 for a copper plate from the workshop of Jan II Brueghel showing a lively village scene . A 17th-century Silesian "tschinke" hunting harquebus with blued barrel is estimated at €12,000 to €15,000, while €8,000 to €12,000 will be required for a royal-blue carpet decorated with the blazon of a Sufi brotherhood, woven in Iran around 1900. All this will be illuminated by a large two-tier chandelier with 44 lights in carved and gilded wood, bronze and sheet metal, richly decorated with acanthus leaves, volutes and palmettes, a late 19th century, possibly Russian, work (€10,000/12,000).
