    I thought bidding is like exciting as in movies but…i never thought it would be slower than expected hehe. Or perhaps depending on the pieces being sold. ❤
  • I wonder if the major museums in Britain, France, Italy, and Germany have a fashion department and institute like the Met in New York City?

    You definitely have to be a bit of a character to be an auctioneer.
