Two of these chairs were sold for $56,250 each at a NYC auction of Phillips in December 2012.
Another one of 1948 is for sale at Phillips in London next week.
Update: Where it was sold for £50,000….as the £ is a bit higher than the $, I would say the prices are moving up.
Sold at Phillips for a whopping $206,500 in a December 2012 sale in NYC.
The chair was designed for the drawing room of Hous’Hill, Catherine Cranston’s residence at Nitshill, Glasgow, in 1904.
This prototype three legged dining chair will be on auction at Phillips in London on April 29, 2014. Estimated between £5,000 – 7,000. It was upheld.
