Bracelets & Billiards. Meanwhile, in Paris last week, more than 10,000 buyers a day were bustling through the Third Biennial of Antiques. Set off by the Grand Palais' lavish decorations, including 500 trees and an artificial lake with swans, more than $10 million worth of objets d'art were on sale.
