[QUOTE="John Brassey, post: 9549137, member: 15277"]Full story. It’s my 70th tomorrow and last Saturday I had a party. I asked for no presents and, apart from a few bottles of wine, everyone complied. However a friend of a good friend handed me the paperweight wrapped in tissue paper. I opened it and thanked her profusely without looking at the signature etc (it was dark and outdoors). On looking at it properly on Sunday I realised it was by Versace and thought that the person who gave it to me had, on getting the invite via my friend, just picked up something from a shelf and wrapped it up without realising it’s value . That’s why I asked on the forum. I have now contacted her via my friend and she says that she knew exactly what it was and wanted it to go to someone who appreciated it. I imagine that there’s a lesson to be had here (if something appears to be too good to be true - it could still be true) and at least I can now keep it with a clear conscience and add it to my collection of things that I love.[/QUOTE]
