#8 Antique Secretary Desk by the Goddard & Townsend Families – $ 11.4 million
Old hand made objects custom made for influencers of the time have a tendency to do very well at auctions in time!
Living proof stands this outstanding secretary desk!
This antique masterpiece is a mahogany 6-shell desk-book case.
It was made for Nicholas Brown, in 1760. The secretary desk is 112 inches high.
The question is, just how much value can be attached to such an item. Incredibly beautiful with an outstanding design for the time period but you’ve got to really be into desks to pay over $11 million for one!
