A master of the deal, Gary scooped up fine French furniture, mirrors and chandeliers,…

However, despite this array of riches we know that sometimes a certain sought-after piece might be proving elusive to track down. If so, we’d recommend our popular ‘wish list’ service. It’s simple: Let us know the details of what you’re searching for and we will do all we can to…
