"I have been collecting and decorating for a long time and the time has come to edit, do some redecorating, and make room for new purchases of my own," says Charlotte Moss of the auction of some of her possessions at Doyle Auctions, on March 7th. The Preview dates are March 2-5, 2013. More than 400 lots will be sold.
I had a chance to glance through the catalogue, and there are scores of great pieces. Here are some that caught my eye.

The prices at this auction seem very reasonable, although the provenance of the pieces, having been owned by Charlotte Moss, may drive them up a bit. The full catalogue is here.
