TV show brooch sold for €120,000
Monday 15 March 2010
A gold, glass and enamel brooch by French master René Lalique has become the most expensive item ever to turn up on tv show Tussen Kunst & Kitsch, a Dutch version of the BBC's Antiques Roadshow.
The brooch, which is 7cm long, was sold at the Tefaf fine art fair in Maastricht this weekend for €120,000.
The brooch, described by its previous owner as 'awkward' because it kept catching in things, had been bought by her grandfather while he was Dutch consul in St Petersburg before the revolution.
The Tefaf fair opened in Maastricht this weekend. Visitor numbers are so far up 10% on 2009, the organisers told the Telegraaf.
