There was an auction at Sotheby’s Auction House in New York recently for a miniature Faberge chair. The chair sold at auction for nearly 2.3 million dollars.

The chair is just over two inches tall. This works out to just over a million dollars per inch!

Officials at Sotheby’s figured that the chair would sell for only one million dollars. Experts state that this chair is extremely rare, and that it was created by the Russian jeweler Carl Faberge who made the jewel encrusted eggs for the Czars in the late 1800’s.
