Ms. X sent me this fascinating link yesterday.

An apartment in Paris that was unoccupied and untouched since World War II was finally examined after the owner's death.
Turns out that owner was the grand-daughter of a famous Parisian actress who was the muse of the great painter Boldini (amongst others including the Prime Minister).
There in Paris, sat an entire collection of fascinating antiques, including an original Mickey Mouse doll, and a stuffed ostrich, was a painting never even known to exist.  Now it is estimated to be worth 2.1 million euros.

Nice fiind.
