An ornate cabinet from the era of the Sun King has become one of the most expensive pieces of furniture ever sold. The Cucci Cabinet - one of just three cabinets crafted by Italian artist Domenico Cucci during the reign of French King Louis XIV - fetched more than £4.5 million at Christie's in London. Dating from around 1665 to 1675, the cabinet is one of just three known to have survived from the master craftsman's hands.
