About the Item

A three volume set with slip case of items auctioned from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor estate on September 11-19, 1997 (which was not held until February 1998 due to the death of Princess Diana.)

Volume two contains lots 1-1789 and includes property from the public rooms of the Windsor's former residence in Paris and historical material. Volume 3 contains lots 1790-3111 of the same.
