Byrdcliffe Chiffonier Sets Record At $207,000

ROSE VALLEY, PENN.
:A rare Byrdcliffe chiffonier, circa 1904, with painted panels by Hermann Dudley Murphy established a record price at auction for the Byrdcliffe form when it sold for $207,000, on Thursday, October 27, during an auction conducted by James Bakker and Robert Edwards.

The piece, sold during a 29-lot auction of Byrdcliffe material, much of it exhibited in the 2004-2005 exhibition "Byrdcliffe: An American Arts and Crafts Colony," had been consigned by a descendant of Byrdcliffe founder Ralph Whitehead. The chiffonier retained remnants of the original transparent green stain, the original bronze hardware and was branded with the Byrdcliffe logo.

A complete review of the auction will appear in a future issue.
