Last November, adding her voice to the detractors of the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, who attacked her on social networks with the hashtag #SackageParis, host Stéphane Bern announced that he was leaving the capital. The specialist in crowned heads therefore abandons his apartment in the 9th arrondissement to go live in his domain in Perche. He is selling his furniture and should collect a very nice sum. What put butter in the spinach since he had announced to be in debt.
As reported by the site of The Gazette Drouot, he “sells all its furniture which will surprise with its eclecticism, mixing the 18th century and design.“Stéphane Bern, who will be able to pursue a bucolic romance with his new companion Yori, explained his approach:”My house in Le Perche being already furnished, I decided to sell all the furniture in my apartment at the Hôtel Rousseau.“He intends to take with him only his archives”and some fifteen thousand books from its rich library“! Appointment is therefore made on January 25 at the Hôtel Drouot, after the exhibition of his furniture from January 22 to 24, 2022.
Among the furniture sold by Stéphane Bern, we find, for example, a Sulpice Brizard armchair (estimated between 5,000 and 7,000 euros), two tables by Hubert Le Gall (estimate between 10,000 and 12,000 euros), a painting by Martin Van Meytens (estimated between 20,000 and 30,000 euros) or an Astrolabe chandelier by Hervé Van der Straeten (estimated between 12,000 and 15,000 euros), a work by Eugène Boudin (also estimated between 12,000 and 15,000 euros)… total amount of the sale should logically reach six figures.
