1 Jan 201422 minTV-PG

In London, an ornate gilt-bronze mirror designed by the sculptor Carrier-Belleuse is the star of a sale called ‘The Opulent Eye’. But will its magnificent opulence be reflected in the price? Elsewhere, a rare vintage traction engine goes under the hammer. But can it really be worth £100,000? And photographs by the late Elsbeth Juda, a window on the world of 1950s fashion, are auctioned off.
