Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle both have over 750 windows, followed by the Palace of Holyroodhouse. This curtain involves a huge amount of fabric. What to do with so much fabric when they need to be renewed? Carlos III, through his foundation, decided to reuse some of them to raise funds. In total, eight footstools were made using fabrics from Windsor Castle, and within minutes, the auction exceeded fifteen thousand euros and counting. In terms of business and recycling, the British sovereign stands out as the true number one. This is not the first time, the chairs used on his coronation day were also auctioned for charity.

The last years of his life. These fabrics move from Windsor to Highgrove, Gloucestershire, where students from various training programs at the Sovereign Foundation make tapestries and adapt the wood, as the foundation also has a carpentry team.

The silent auction will be open until December 16, so you can bid on these pieces with real and lasting connections until that date.
