Lavish Land

The name Rococo has been known for its specially designed interior materials by the French in the 18th century.  One of the most expensive table in the world was made by Rococo which was sold at a Christie’s auction in Philadephia.

Thomas Tufft made a hand curved pier table in the late 1700s for Richard Edwards of Lumberton, New Jersey where he used it for its general store. 

The most impressive thing about the world’s most expensive table isn’t its auction sale of $4.6 million, which overshot presale estimate by over $3 million, but the fact that it has retained its position for nearly two decades. The Tufft pier table was sold on January 20th, 1990. Now that’s an enduring work of art!

Replicas of the Tufft table, like the one pictured above, can be purchased from Richard Rothstein Classic Interiors.
