NOTE- These figures do not account for added value of the ORIGINAL faux ART throughout created by the late great Faux Art Master Leonard Pardon whose work can be found in Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and the Palaces in the Sultinates of Oman and Brunei. Bella Fortuna was one of his major last commissions prior to his passing this year. Pardon signed his work in a variety of the different areas which he crafted within the Bella Fortuna Estate.
