Another One Of Those 'Good Luck' Stories,

we like so much,

this one concerning a plate, not any old plate but one that was a part of the set of 1,700 items made for the court of King Louis XV, auctioneers initially failed to spot the 260-year-old plate's heritage, saying it would fetch just £70, but closer inspection saw a bidding frenzy as the price rocket to 1,200 times the estimate as the plate, which dates back to 1753, was snapped up by a French antiques dealer,

Jane Brown, from Wellers Auctions in Guildford, Surrey, said: 'very little is known about the plate's history before it came to us, it was inherited from a deceased elderly relative who we think just kept it in her china cabinet thinking it was a pretty plate but not realising its true value, 

and it's true value was? a cool £70,000, with all the fees added on, the overall price paid for it was £84,000, lucky or what?
