Paris Flat Unopened For 70 Years

I stumbled across this story on The Paris Apartment blog (full story here):



An apartment that had been unopened for over 70 years was recently discovered in Paris. The owner had left France before WII and never returned. "Entering the untouched, cobweb-filled flat in Paris’ 9th arrondissement, one expert said it was like stumbling into the castle of Sleeping Beauty, where time had stood still since 1900." In the apartment was a lost Boldini portrait of the owner's grandmother, Marthe de Florian, an actress. The painting sold for $2.1 million.
