Artcurial will open its autumn season on September 24 with a sale of 500 lots from Origines, an extensive architectural antiques business at Richebourg just outside the capital. Some hefty items have been selected, not least a complete Italian Renaissance style grotto-cum-temple created by the architect John Shaw for Cowbridge House in Wiltshire. This monumental piece is estimated at €120,000-160,000 and is by no means the only stately home accessory in the catalogue. On a smaller scale there are statues, fountains and spectacular chimneypieces. Those wishing to view will need to head out along the N12 past Versailles to the Origines site. artcurial.com
