The Backgammon deserves at least the definition of piece of art. Designed by the maestro Bernard Maquin, boasts a style that speaks the languages of the exotic East. Moreover it is believed that the origins of the game are Mesopotamian. The inspiration for the author went to the world of “A Thousand and One Nights”, with geometric motifs cutting east. To get the effect 61,082 diamonds in black, white and yellow shades are used. Add to them the flavor of gold and silver in huge quantities to feel the splendor.
The bizarre jewel, which has already passed hand last year, requested 10 thousand hours of intense work. Any bargain on price?

Old is Gold! The substance of the statement is well identified via all antiques that undergo auction. Lately, this has been proved by a 19th century chair and desk on which Charles Dickens wrote “Great Expectations.” Against the pre-estimate amount of auction i.e. between 50,000-80,000 pounds, the furniture piece was picked by a former Irish journalist at Christie’s auction house for 433,000 pounds ($850,000), almost five-times of the expected sales amount.
Calling it an imperative piece of legendary history, the proud owner of the desk and chair Tom Higgins (49) is all set to install this precious piece of furniture in his Wicklow, southeast Ireland home. The imprinted words on bronze plaque desk reads: “This desk was the property of Charles Dickens and was in use by him at Gadshill when he died….†The set hails from Dickens’s family before it was ultimately gifted to Great Ormond Street Hospital, so that it can generate money by selling it off.
