But three years after her death, aged 104, Huguette Clark's sprawling 42-room
apartment on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue has just revealed its rarest treasure
yet.
A 1731 Stradivarius violin known as "The Kreutzer" after its former
owner, French violinist Rodolphe Kreutzer, has been discovered in a closet,
and is now expected to auction for between $7.5 million and $10m, the
New York Post reported.
Christie's has begun accepting sealed bids ahead of a final deadline this
Thursday.
“It would be the one violin that Kreutzer held most special to him and would
retain it throughout his life,” said a spokesman for Christie's.

ReplyDeleteMy gosh, I can just imagine how the lawyers feasted on her estate while she was alive....
ReplyDeleteThis is so suspicious just think what was lifted from her estate during this time.
ReplyDeleteFeeding Frenzy of the highest level and we're to believe this is what the heiress wanted living in a hospital room by choice.
When a person of means is surrounded by a 10 story shark pool of lawyers who are billing billing billing all in the best interests of the protected one who has been behind closed doors the word 'believe' is not part of this story.
Only God knows the full extent, the truth and the total amount Huguette Clark generated for the protection industry.
We may never know the real story of Huguette Clark and why she lived her final years in a hospital.
ReplyDeleteShe was robbed and the courts sided with the robbers wrongly.
