"une histoire d'homme / gentleman's world" auction

i am slightly trembling with fear as i type this. "artcurial", the parisian auction house that brought us the vintage hermès auction, will be staging another auction in june called "une histoire d'homme / gentleman's world". this is an unprecedented themed auction to take place at the hotel marcel-dassault in paris on 9th june 2009.

i love vintage, i love auctions. i am so trembling with fear! auction items haven't been disclosed yet, but they promised that there will be the best of vintage luxury, including trunks, bags and accessories from goyard, vuitton, hermes etc. there will also be vintage jewellery and watches too.

some of the items from the press release:
that vintage hermès "drag" from 1960 is just to die for! they are expensive but they really do last a lifetime if well cared for. i now understand why they are called heirloom pieces.

i'm looking forward to seeing the actual auction lots. & i look forward to be present at a live auction some day, raising my card and participating. believe it or not, it's actually one of the objectives that my friend and i set for ourselves this year.

i think we are one step closer now.
