It's time for auction season again after a long, hot summer of house sales and Christie's has a scorchin' 120 lots coming up on the 26th of September. All the big names are represented, and if you have to buy some Marc Newson (like everyone else these days) they have a couple of embryo chairs to fight over.

You know I have some favorites, so here they are:

Lot #045
A pair of limestone and iron low tables, circa 1940

A set of steel and leather "PK-9" dining chairs, designed 1961
Poul Kjaerholm (1929–1980)

Lot #102
A pair of painted and metal sconces, circa 1950
