Thank god they limited it, looks like a Louis the 14th’s dunny.

I emailed the auction how on shipping rates. If it's reasonable I am bidding on it.

Auction houses can have absurd shipping rates, so I don't want to assume anything. I won a poster at a London Bonham's auction last year, and they wanted like $300 to ship the poster in a tube!  I paid a London co-worker of mine $100 to collect the poster and ship it for me.  Was able to have a good lunch on top of all the costs.

You know it’s serious when both middle names are included.

No response from the seller so far on shipping costs. 😞

I’m sure you could find someone near Hollywood Florida here to go scoop it up for you, but the packing required to ship such an item.  Whew.  Really cool piece though.  

**Could probably almost buy a cheap round trip ticket to FLL for around $200 grab it yourself, spend a day in Fort Lauderdale.

Find that piece outstanding. Usually not interested in that kind of thing.
