Jewels of Savoy Under the Hammer
Auction bidders will have a chance to take home a piece of royal history next week when personal belongings of Italy’s last queen go under the hammer in London. Items, which include jewellery, paintings and furniture once owned by the late Queen Marie Jose, are being sold by her daughter Princess Maria Gabriella of Savoy. The princess will use the profits from the sale to pay a tax bill and maintain the family home in Geneva.
