ALAMEDA, CALIF. — Competing against more than 630 other lots of furniture, decorative arts, fine art and jewelry, a living room seating set crossed the block as the highest-earning lot in Michaan’s July 19 Gallery Auction. Comprising a settee and lounge chair by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Cassina, the set, both with reddish brown tufted leather and chrome finish supports, had Cassina and Atelier labels affixed to the underside. The leather had some scratches and expected signs of wear, and the seat of the lounge chair had a tear that measured less than 2 inches in length. Still, the set earned $9,840, including buyer’s premium ($4/6,000). Further review of the sale will be in an upcoming issue.
