Valentina and the Antique Globe Gambit
Gilt framed paintings and burgundy velvet drape the room in classic aristocratic elegance.
Sitting poised in her aisle chair, Valentina raises an ivory bidding paddle with an arched eyebrow and a playful, secret smile. Her emerald attire and cascading copper curls command the room as her gaze remains fixed on a miniature celestial globe on display. She promised herself she would only watch, but adventure was far too tempting.
Exclusive high society intrigue for our Muse Admirer, Velvet Insider and Inner Circle members.
