This foam is designed to respond to the heat and pressure of your body, allowing it to mold and contour to your shape. Memory foam mattresses have gained popularity in recent years due to their ability to provide a comfortable and supportive sleeping surface.

The lady’s dressing table was on Butchoff's Antiques stand for £175,000 and was made by the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company Ltd of London. Since there was no auction, there was no estimate - the final sales price was all we were given.<br /><br />I stand corrected.

So in all honesty, I should add the last line of their catalogue: "Purchased by the present owner in the 1990s in Asia, the dressing table is expected to make $20,000 to $25,000 in Sunday’s auction. “It could go much higher, though. To the people of India, this piece could well be regarded as an important treasure. It symbolises the grandeur of India’s royal past.”<br /><br />Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-66583821192944426072012-09-19T10:03:32.765+10:002012-09-19T10:03:32.765+10:00columnist

Sometimes 'sleepers' turn up which subsequently sell for fabulous sums. Were the figures you mentioned estimates or final sales? Often extremely valuable objects have low estimates for various reasons, as for example when almost all of the Jackie Onassis pieces sold for ten times or more of their estimates.<br /><br />Personally, I found this dressing table to be rather unattractive, in spite of the obviously high workmanship. I know nothing about the value of Indian aristocratic furniture, so don't know if the final price was low or high, but as Columnist pointed out, many people will compete buying back their own heritage.<br />--Road to ParnassusParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-89031874017283506662012-09-19T02:44:11.951+10:002012-09-19T02:44:11.951+10:00A mystery of sorts!

It isn't exactly the prettiest of pieces of furniture, being a mishmash of Chippendale meets Anglo Indian style, but I can imagine that for rich Indians, (assuming they were the second buyer/s), they might want to buy a piece of their history, much as the Chinese are doing, and ramping up the prices of any decent Chinese art in the process.columnisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764365428633038329noreply@blogger.com
