LOT 003 / SPECIMEN

LOT 004 / PROVENANCE

Established beneath the gas-lamps of an unrecorded street in MDCCCXC, PPUZZL & Co. has, for the better part of a century and a third, kept its catalogue of unclaimed bids in a single black-marble parlor. Specimens arrive without ceremony: a sealed envelope, a wax-stamped tag, a name no longer in use. We do not authenticate. We do not promote. We list, we light, we wait. The room is patient. So, too, is the bidder.

— The House, in perpetuum
