— PROFILE —
Under The Hammer In this feature, we share one of the rare, beautiful and extraordinary pieces to pass through our doors since the last issue. An oak Melbourne Stock Exchange chair recently sold in our Thursday Auction for $4,216 (IBP). This impressive chair is a part of Melbourne’s history, being one of a limited number that were used by the Melbourne Stock Exchange until 1961, when call trading at that exchange closed. There were only 120 made and they were in use at the stock exchange for 70 years. In fact, an enthusiast has let us know that when call trading at the MSE closed, the chairs were sold for just five pounds each!
