Thoughts on mathsson tables...?

I have the opportunity to bid at auction....I've seen them online advertised in the low 4 figures....I'm in a good resale area, not sure if I should go for it and if so, how much.....worth the hype?

 

Also. This lamp...

 

just my feeling and experience from Central Europe. pricewise they fall into the mid class range where many sit on their hands at the moment. Covid angst creeping around, so only a chance to make a good cut when it's either stuff for the filthy rich that don't need to care about "peanuts" or items under 500 $ or € that don't hurt the family budget.

 

If you sign up for an account on Liveauctioneers.com, you can search previous auctions and see what similar items have sold for. These tables, known as "Annika" model tables, have quite a few sales ranging from $200-$800 each. So, it depends on the condition and for what price you can buy them. Your picture of the lamp is too small to determine anything.

 

I think my research was on chairish, which is probably high. I'll try and reliad a pic it wasn't letting me do full image late last night!!

 

You need to talk nice to it.

 

Looks like you were looking at asking prices on Chairish, which like 1stDibs can be wildly inflated. Chairish also publishes sold prices at https://www.chairish.com/pinkbook. I did not see any Annika tables in the sold listings.

 

Lamp

 

Nice lamp. Looks like it could be Tony Paul for Westwood, or at least "in the style of". I'd estimate around $150-$250 in your area.

 

Thanks!
