Opulence



That Art Deco masterpiece The Savoy hotel in London's Strand is closing for a £100m refurbishment. The makeover promises to "restore" some of its original opulence - and there is an auction at Bonhams of items that are being disposed of as part of the refit.

Your chance to own five hundred soup bowls, eighty ice buckets, or a selection of unusual wardrobes, towel rails and chairs I suppose... This is my favourite of all the items on sale, but where would we put it?
