Catalogue entry

A low walnut-framed lounge chair with sculpted arms, tapered legs and a floating seat. Reupholstered in an oatmeal wool bouclé approximately four years ago over new foam and new webbing; the frame is original and has been cleaned and oiled rather than refinished.

Joints are tight. It does not creak under an adult, which we tested, at length, in the shop.

This lot has an eight-frame turntable. Drag it, or use the arrow keys.

Provenance

  • Private residence, Eugene, OR
  • Restored by the consignor, 2021

What you actually pay

Bids are on the hammer price. A buyer’s premium of 18% is added to the hammer, and shipping is quoted separately — $240 for this lot, packed and sent domestically. At the current next minimum of $1,550 that comes to $1,829 before shipping, or $2,069 delivered.

The published increment table

The step is set by the table, not by us on the day.

The band your bid falls into decides the smallest legal step above it. At the current $1,450 that step is $100, so the next acceptable bid is $1,550. Leave a maximum and we bid for you in these steps, stopping as soon as you are in front — you will often pay less than your maximum.

Soft close. A bid inside the final 3 minutes pushes the closing time out by 3 minutes from that bid, and there is no cap on extensions. A lot closes when 3 full minutes pass with nobody bidding. You never have to be here at the published minute.
