the leather armchair, at 2feet in height was the work of Eileen Gray...another one of our own! the 21.9 million euro pricetag to be exact has deemed this the most expensive piece of 20th century furniture ever...
the chair which dates back to 1918, was part of the collection of the late Yves Saint Laurent...

cheap at twice the price....
I can't say I am in love with this chair - I understand the provenance and all but if I were bidding at the auction that chair would not have seen my paddle! Thank you for visiting French Essence - happy to have found your blog. xv
I think the chair post was very interesting, don't know about the price though... Thanks for visiting my blog, now don't be a stranger.
i'm not a big fan of this chair - however eileen gray in her own right is a source of inspiration to me; more so her classic glass table for her E. 1027 house and indeed E. 1027... amazed at the price tag it fetched, deservedly so or not?!? well i'l leave that thought with the rest of blogging world...
I'm back to this chair and so people don't get the wrong idea about my sarcastic comment...I'll say this is a crazy amount of money...don't want to preach and say there are starving children in Africa...but there are!
