From Silvio Berlusconi#x19;s bed to Casanova#x19;s memoirs (the most expensive manuscript in history), via the Statue of Liberty#x19;s nose and an X-ray of Marilyn Monroe#x19;s chest, here is a remarkable record of some of the quirkiest, most unexpected and sometimes bizarre possessions that have changed hands in the last year #x13; some costing millions, some only pennies (or even nothing at all). Ranging from rare historical artefacts (such as Marie-Antoinette#x19;s pearls) to the weirdly iconic (Elvis#x19;s medicine cabinet, anyone?), by turns ingenious, intriguing and witty, this is a brilliant and teasing insight into the culture of our time, packed with extraordinary things to amuse, inspire or amaze.
