The Most Expensive Rococo Table
May 28, 2008 | Posted by Allison as The Most Expensive at 10:00 am |
Developed in France in the 18th century, the Rococo style preferred style over functionality, which is a philosophy I quite admire.
Let me now introduce you to the Tufft pier table, the most expensive Rococo table in the world. Originally built for a general store owner, Thomas Tufft hand-carved this ornate desk in the last bits of the 18th century.
Back in January of 1990, the Tufft pier table sold at auction for an astounding $4.6 million, making this piece of art not only the most expensive Rococo table in the world, but the most expensive table period.
She’s a beauty, no?

I LOVE this table….. I own it…. well, not the original $4.6 million table, but an incredibly beautiful hand carved reproduction that I got from Richard Rothstein & Co. out of Mount Laurel, New Jersey. It is a real gem of a table….
