This undated photo released by Colombostile shows a
whimsical bergere upholstered in faux leopard fur and edged
in Ostrich feathers, with custom painted design and front
lucite legs. Its retail price is over $US26,000.
The 22 pieces of custom-made furniture Michael Jackson
commissioned for his London home are going on the auction
block.
Darren Julien of Julien's Auctions says a gilded red velvet
sofa that seats nine, a leopard-print chair trimmed with
ostrich feathers and a pair of velvet armchairs embroidered
with gold eagles are among the offerings.
Jackson intended to use the furnishings during his This
Is It comeback concert run in London.
Fans can visit a re-creation of the home at Las Vegas' Planet
Hollywood casino from June 14 to June 25 before the items are
sold at auction.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit two charities:
MusiCares, which provides health care and other services for
struggling musicians, and Joshua's Heart, which aims to end
world hunger.
