| Wow! Seeing that, not knowing its value? Eh.. Not my thing, lol. (Just as well, that's over $500,000 more than my house could sell for.). Who else clicked the thread link, just hoping it'd be a picture of something you have? |
|
| I wonder what the value of similar tiles is historically. How are prices compared to pre-2007, pal? |

| I was not at the auction, but in general these kinds of things seem to go to internet/phone bidders or someone who is clearly representing someone else. So I think a lot of the stratospheric bids come from overseas buyers. I do know someone who is friends with the man who bought the $8M Garvan Carver attributed pie crust table a few years back and he is an American. However, since he didn't want anyone to know he would pay $8M for a table he did it anonymously. I think Rago tends to be pretty accurate with their estimates, so this probably interested a few bidders for whom money is essentially no object. I don't tend to follow the decorative objects market much, however, I was told that it remained stronger than the furniture market, because the decorative arts are more "portable" and more liquid in terms of ease of resale than furniture. |
