Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- Furniture from the rented mansion where pop star Michael Jackson died was being auctioned off Saturday , and among the most expensive items sold were paintings that went for $ 46,875 and $ 35,200 . Some of the furnishings were made infamous by crime scene photos shown in this year 's trial of Michael Jackson 's doctor , Conrad Murray , who was sentenced last month to four years in the Los Angeles County jail for involuntary manslaughter in Jackson 's death . Though the mansion is located in Los Angeles ' Holmby Hills neighborhood , the auction was being held in Beverly Hills and was being carried live online . Auctioneers were selling 524 items . Jackson did not own the beds , chairs , clocks , paintings , dishes and other objects , but their value was expected to skyrocket because of the personal touch added by the pop icon and his children in the months before he died on June 25 , 2009 . Julien 's Auctions has been careful not to call it a Michael Jackson auction out of legal and public relations concerns , instead marketing it by the mansion 's now-famous address -- 100 North Carolwood Drive . As of early Saturday afternoon , among the most expensive items sold were a $ 35,200 watercolor painting of floral still life by Maurice Utrillo and a $ 46,875 oil painting of fishing village by Adelsteen Normann . The table where Jackson 's sedatives sat and the rug on which paramedics tried to revive him are also among the items on the sale block . Without the connection to Jackson , the entire property might bring $ 400,000 , Nolan said . But with the connection , `` the sky 's the limit , '' Julien 's Executive Director Martin Nolan said . A chalkboard left behind in Jackson 's kitchen may have cost a few hundred dollars , but what his children wrote on it makes it a very valuable object , Nolan said . The note , handwritten on the black board attached to a 26-inch-tall ceramic rooster , reads `` love Daddy/ I ( heart ) Daddy/ Smile it 's for free . '' It sat in the kitchen where , according to testimony in the trial of Murray , Jackson would eat lunch each day with Prince , Paris and Blanket Jackson . It was not known which child wrote the chalk note , but Nolan said his research suggested it was from Paris , who was 11 when her father died . Another striking piece is a Victorian-revival-style armoire from Jackson 's master bedroom . On the mirror , presumably where Jackson looked each day as he dressed , is a handwritten message of inspiration : `` Train , perfection March April Full out May . '' The wax-pencil note is significant , considering that Jackson was battling the calendar as he prepared for his `` This Is It '' concerts set to premiere in London in July 2009 . Murray 's defense lawyers argued during the trial that the intense pressure on Jackson to rehearse for the 50 shows put him in a desperate fight for sleep , which led to Murray administering the surgical anesthetic propofol nearly every night in the last two months of his life . Julien 's Auctions backed away from selling the bed in which Jackson received the fatal dose of the propofol after a personal request from his mother , Katherine Jackson , Nolan said . The auction house 's re-creation of the bedroom where Jackson died -- euphemistically called `` the medicine room '' by the company -- features a bed-sized memorial covered with love notes from Jackson fans instead of the death bed . The nightstand seen next to the death bed in coroner 's photos , bearing numerous bottles of sedatives and other drugs , is for sale . The `` French occasional table '' is listed for between $ 300 and $ 500 . The room-size Oriental rug that covered the floor where Jackson was placed when paramedics tried to revive him is listed in the auction catalog for between $ 400 and $ 600 . The couch and chairs where Jackson likely sat with show producers worried about his health in the days before his death are for sale . One chair in Jackson 's bedroom has a stain which Nolan suggested was makeup spilled by the star as he sat in front of a mirror . None of Jackson 's relatives has expressed an interest in any of the items , Nolan said . He pointed out that they had a chance to take whatever they wanted from the house in the months after his death . The notes and posters brought to the auction house by Jackson fans and placed on the `` medicine room '' memorial will be sent to Jackson 's mother and children , he said . Jackson 's relationship with Julien 's turned sour in the last months of his life when he filed a lawsuit to stop the sale of furnishings from his Neverland ranch . The singer sued the auction company , claiming he did not authorize the sale of items that were removed from Neverland after he sold the ranch . The suit was settled in April 2009 when Julien 's canceled the auction and later returned the items to Jackson .
