While some of the sale items are valuable on their own, such as a pair of George III mahogany bookcase cabinets from 1790 worth up to $40,000, others are more affordable.
There are several books, revealing an interest in author Elie Wiesel, along with dozens of Streisand's shoes and a rust-colored rabbit fur coat.
There are also objects that show Streisand's creativity as an interior designer, including a Gothic-style table with carved sphinxes that she had planned to turn into a vanity sink, before changing her mind.
"If she wasn't a singer or an actress she would have been a designer," Julien said.
