LONDON — A set of pearls purportedly belonging to Marie Antoinette failed to sell Wednesday, a disappointing outcome for Christie’s auction house.
The pearls, which the French queen is said to have given to a British countess for safekeeping after she was imprisoned during the French Revolution, are now part of a necklace also containing rubies and diamonds.
Christie’s had hoped the pearls would fetch up to $815,000.
