Photos: Inside Joan Rivers' lovely NY apartment: Marble statues, chandeliers, walls lined with gold

Dripping with chandeliers and lined with gold, this - of course - was Joan Rivers' home.

A dazzling gem of old-school showbusiness, it seems only right that her living room ceilings scaled 30ft-high, and velvet drapes framed the vast windows.

And in every corner of the opulent New York apartment sit stacks of index cards with jokes spanning her entire career.

The comedienne, who died last week at the age of 81, once described the Upper East Side condo as 'where Marie Antoinette would have lived if she had the money'.

She put it on the market years ago for $29.5 million - but it is now worth an estimated $35 million.
