The numbers are in, and the market for iconic design is stronger than ever! Our March 18 Mid-Century Modern & Design auction saw spirited global bidding, proving that exceptional provenance and craftsmanship always command center stage.

Mid-century design emerged as one of the strongest-performing sections of the sale, with Finn Juhl and Phillip Lloyd Powell drawing especially competitive bidding. A pair of Finn Juhl for Niels Vodder Model 109 chairs soared to $36,250 against an $8,000 high estimate, while the Finn Juhl “Judas” dining table realized $31,250 and a pair of Model 53 easy chairs brought $28,750.

A Finn Juhl Model 53 sofa also performed well at $20,000.

The Pennsylvania Studio Craft movement continues to be a powerhouse, led by the incredible works of Phillip Lloyd Powell: One sculpted cabinet sold for $28,750, another cabinet reached $26,250, and a room divider achieving $21,250.
