$12.5 Million Tiffany Studios Glass Window Shatters Auction Record at Sotheby's

[@cherylrleigh1912]

What a brilliant, graceful, and captivating auctioneer. Her presence added an extra layer of excitement to the event, holding us spellbound with both her beauty and the effortless command with which she steered the proceedings.

[@emptymannull]

Typical of a female English auctioneer. They know their job and do it very well.

[@kevinchambers1101]

She was a true seductress

[@jeffreybroge9002]

Awestruck @ the beauty!! I've been a lover of Tiffany all my life, for me the price of any of it is far beyond my means. However can see the beauty and craftsmanship as something that will never be out done .......

[@MACTRUQUE]

She has such vibrant poise as auctioneer, bringing the atmosphere a harmonic energy!

[@Gobothechairman]

The auctioneer owns the room so gracefully that looks effortless.

[@d23bw]

This back lit work from the Tiffany Studios is, to my mind, more impressive than almost any oil on canvas work. Beautiful and sublime.

[@diasnovitawuri1939]

It does shatter indeed ❤

[@froggy_days]

I hope it doesn't

[@lexsea]

the way the auctioneer said “what is their house not big enough?” to challenge them to go up to $10.8m made me chuckle

[@bunjijumper5345]

It's just not right to house shame billionaires. I feel so bad for them.

[@steven1822]

i love watching her auctions. they have always been light and very entertaining. search out her many past auction events.

[@daviddooling5997]

Let's remember it takes less than $20 to cure childhood blindness. Is this the best bang for the buck? There are also other artists more than capable of replicating this magnificent work for far far less.

Sadly the world is not an empathetic place.

[@suburban5276]

Actually that is not true because glass of this caliber is no longer produced due to health and safety laws. Compounds like arsenic, mercury and heavy metals went into formulating the glass.

[@steven1822]

remember that the people who can purchase these expensive art works, donate many millions to worth while health related needs.

[@prospectnyc]

I got a little nervous reading the title. “Shatter” and “glass” in the same sentence usually means something else! Glad my new beautiful window is safe!

[@aftonair]

Breathtaking

[@R-London7]

Not sure if the use of words 'smashed' and 'shattered' is appropriate for this particular item.

[@d23bw]

My thought as well.

[@AFAskygoddess]

I think the person who posted this video meant it to be a pun.

[@wendyannh]

Why does the title of the video say $12.5 million when the bidding closed at $10.8? Still, it’s a breathtaking sum.

[@MerelyGifted]

The higher figure represents the total paid, including the auction house's fees.

[@emptymannull]

There are seller's and buyer's fees you know...

[@oltedders]

Buyer's premium. The auction house's fee for selling items.

[@donaldharlan3981]

Lots of questions as to where the window came from or who actually owns it. And yet still that is one of the prettiest windows I have ever seen. Definitely a pretty window.

[@pnsjax]

The Auction and Auctioneer were fine, but the room had no drama or suspense. I'll stick to Storage Wars reruns!

[@lutomson3496]

sold for 10.8 stop adding in the fees to create buzz

[@PLuMUK54]

The guy on the front row looked like a guy who had just farted and no one realised it was him 😂

[@trumpthis2]

❤❤

[@StereoSpace]

One could buy a very, very nice estate for $12.5 million.

[@d23bw]

Sothebys will have a look I'm sure. Best of luck.

[@melaniamonicacraciun9900]

Christmas is near, let's invite everybody enjoy precious gifts for the beloved ones, precious gems as safe investments and let them artists find new customers and buyers, let them such spectacular art achievements become an inspiration, who cares to have such a window...as a perfect imitation? As a preordered item? As a sentimental emotional choice? I think you guys can go further on, when wealthy people is happy to use fine arts as safe investment is a great step forward indeed, a prove of human civilization...no matter if it seems we live in a world of predator sharks and cannibals, we have hopes of salvation and if artists can find new jobs, let it happen guys... that's what fans are for 🤗🍀💋🥂🍀💎💯

[@duncanbleak3819]

Wow, that was comparatively dull auction.
