Lark Mason Associates sale of French Furniture and Decorative Arts from a prominent New York collector is now live on igavelauctions.com. The sale, which closes on January 26th, consists of just under 50 select lots of French furniture, Chinese tomb pottery, and decorative arts. The collection which was housed in an elegant apartment designed by a well-known Washington DC-based interior designer includes a fine pair of Louis XVI Tulipwood Marquetry corner cabinets, made by Pierre Roussel (Estimate: $15,000-25,000), and a Louis XVI Mahogany and Inlaid Tulipwood Wood Desk (Estimate: $2,000-3,000). Among the superb Chinese tomb pottery wares are a pair of Tang Dynasty Chinese painted pottery Lokapala (Estimate: $7,000-10,000) and a large Chinese pottery prancing horse, Sichuan Provence, Han Dynasty (Estimate: $5,000-8,000).
Raymond admitted to being the shooter and firing the high-powered rifle, but after a two-month trial he was found not criminally responsible for the killing. The defence argued he was delusional and believed he was shooting demons coming to kill him, not human beings.
With their verdict, the jurors said they believed Raymond s delusions stopped him from understanding what he was doing or that it was wrong.
Roussel said trusting the jury s verdict is not a form of blind faith. It is a reflection of the well-earned trust and confidence that has been built up over centuries of experiences in courtrooms throughout the Commonwealth, he said.
