Pierre Jeanneret-designed Chandigarh Heritage — ranging from Rs 64 lakh to Rs 1.05 crore — will be auctioned in Paris on October 27.

Four items will be auctioned by Cornette De Saint-Cyr, Paris. The items are a pair of easy armchairs in teak and wicker, a set of six office armchairs in teak and wicker, a daybed in teak, all by Pierre Jeanneret, and cowhide and a pair of advocate armchairs.

Earlier, heritage furniture from the city was sold for Rs 2.11 crore in an auction conducted by Bonham in London. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
