Every once in a while my inner 'DECORATOR' comes out to play and I have to have a really, really over the top and not especially necessary or practical item.
I don't know why I NEED this but I truly want it. To make matters worse I'm sure it's a mess that neither plays or will need a gazillion dollars to whip into shape and in any event who plays a harpsicorde.....luckily, Ric doesn't and we don't sing....
A 17th c Italian harpsicord with polychrome decoration.
But I just remember Nureyev's apartment on Quai Voltaire with it's lustrous gilt leather walls and his super harpsicord by the windows with their krazy quilt velvet curtains.....it was such a piece of sculpture, over the top and vital to the room. Oh well as I don't live in Paris at present I guess I don't really, really need it but, I may just have to buy it....just in case.
