Hope you have all been enjoying the weather. On the auction front it has been rather quiet. I was interested to see
the below Bridgewater chair sell with a hammer price of £3400 so a total
price inc commission of around £4100. Which to me is very expensive for
a chair which does not have a rear leg stamp and the least desirable of
the main 3 leg styles in my opinion. So my question is, do people get
caught up in the auction battle and forget about the additional
commission? As there are plenty of places you can straight out buy a
Bridgewater for around £3200 you only have to look at the ones I posted
in this blog or on ebay at the moment.
I do like the one on ebay, nice and big with my personal favorite style
of front leg, just a pity the upholstery on the back has not been done
very well, but you should take recovering as standard when buying one of
these. On the work front I made a Howard style reclining swivel chair:We have not yet decide how to finish it as its for stock. |
