This Apartment Was Abandoned By A Rich Woman in 1942. You Won’t Believe What Was Found Inside.

Sunday, January 5, 2014

A French socialite and actress named Madame de Florian had to flee to the south due to World Was II. She also had to left her beautiful apartment. But she never returned even after the war was over. It has been over 70 years the apartment is sitting idle. An auctioneer recently opened her apartment after 1942. There were plenty of treasures when he looked inside.
The apartment was in perfect shape just slightly dusty.

The furniture here looked as if someone is living here all along

She had this taxidermy piece in her apartment which was considered a sign of grandeur at that time.

Having a look at this apartment takes us back to the history showing the kind of life in Paris during that period.

This is a portrait of Madame de Florian painted by Giovanni Boldini.

Her estate is still the owner of the home and general public cannot enter.

An auction was held for the painting which fetched 2.1 million euros and other remaining items worth thousands left there are expected to be auctioned as well.
Thanks belloblog

This apartment is in perfect shape all these years despite no one living is because Madame de Florian paid rent till her death aged 91 in 2010. She never returned back though she still continued to pay the rent.
