Is it most =mportant that he sells the desk by the end of the year or would he =ather wait if there is a better sale or opportunity in early 2018 for =im to realize a potentially higher price? We have a single owner =ollection sale this October of largely French furniture which includes = similar desk. It is by a different maker but the form and decoration =ill appeal to the same client base. The reception and interest on =hat desk will be a good barometer and also could flush out new =rospective buyers for Mr. Epstein's desk for us to pursue for =otential private sale. The head of the Paris =urniture department will be here in New York next week and I will speak =o him about his thoughts of offering the desk either there or in =ondon. EFTA_R1_01396543 EFTA02381514
