THE HAMMER FALLS FOR STANFORD

The auctioneer's hammer is set to fall for Allen Stanford's treasures in Miami.

What's left of his south Florida empire now sits in the warehouse of AMC Liquidators

The artwork and furnishings of Stanford Financial Group's Miami office --- their way into the sale's rooms --- include carved entry tables with marble tops, bronze sculptures of eagles poised for a kill and a wall tapestry depicting French royalty on horseback. Estimated to be worth $2 million, the sale will be the contents of the 12th, 21st, 26th and 27th floors of the Miami high-rise that Stanford's group rented. at 201 S. Biscayne Blvd.

The entire haul is visible at: http://www.amcliquidators.com/Stanford_Capital_Liquidation.asp

Notes Pamela Grimmé, whose husband runs AMC, "A lot of his (Stanford's) furniture was very regal. I think he took himself very seriously."
