Marie Antoinette Statues and Baccarat Chandeliers: Houston Château Lists for $29 Million

A Houston home coming on the market for $29 million resembles a French château—with the palace intrigue to match. Built in the 1990s, the roughly 15,000-square-foot estate has Marie Antoinette statues, ornate ironwork, trompe l’oeil, Baccarat chandeliers and antique fireplaces, according to listing agent Rachel Solar of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty. The seller is socialite and philanthropist Lori Krohn Sarofim, who was previously married to Phillip Sarofim, son of the late Egyptian-born billionaire Fayez Sarofim.
