several specimens of 18th century cabinet
makers work, The sale brought more
than 10000 francs. One piece of tapestry,
valued by the government officers at 80
francs, brought 5000 francs. The sale
attracted large gathering of prominent
Parisians because Herr Mumm's apart
ment was known as one of the most Law
