For the person who has everything? The marble lions from the tomb of King Charles V of France are being sold at Christie’s. But how did they end up in London? Also in this exceptional sale is a locket given by George IV to his secret and illegal wife. And, at Sotheby’s an exquisite snuff box made by Johann Christian Neuber of Dresden in 1770 comes under the hammer.
