A Georgian miniature elbow chair that sold for £10,000 at Boulton & Cooper.
It exceeded expectations of £300-500 to sell at £10,000 (plus 15% buyer’s premium).
Standing 12in (30cm) high, the ‘apprentice piece’ was part of the North York Moors estate of a former collector-dealer.
Despite some condition issues that included breaks to a leg and an arm, it retained its original leather upholstered drop-in seat.
The sale took place on on October 25.
