Bidding on A Ply Chair, Jasper Morrison, 1990
Current bid
$14,000Your maximum is confidential. The house never bids it in one go — it raises you by a single increment at a time, only as far as it must to keep you in front.
Bid $16,500 on a lot standing at $14,000 and the lot moves to $14,500 — not to your ceiling. You pay your maximum only if someone pushes you there.
A bid inside the last 2 minutes extends the clock, so nobody wins a lot simply by arriving one second before the end.
A buyer’s premium of 10% applies to the hammer price. At $14,000 that is $1,400, for a total of $15,400 excluding shipping and any applicable tax.

Materials and dimensions follow the holding institution's record. Twentieth-century production pieces are sold as found, with the wear a working object of this age would be expected to carry. Catalogue data for this lot is drawn from the Victoria and Albert Museum's open-access collections record (V&A open access).

Condition
Good
Honest wear throughout. Structurally sound and complete.
Condition reports are the house’s opinion, offered in good faith. Lots are sold as viewed; the absence of a remark does not imply the absence of a fault.
