Before Michael Jackson‘s scheduled “This Is It” concerts, the King of Pop had 22 custom-designed pieces of furniture made for the Kent, England home, where he intended to stay. Now the furniture is up for auction.
Among the regal pieces made for the King of Pop were a leopard-print chair with ostrich feather trim (approximately $18,500), two velvet armchairs embroidered with doubled-headed gold eagles (approximately $60,000), a gilded red velvet sofa that seats nine (approximately $150,000), and a gilded wood writing desk with mother of pearl inlay (approximately $120,000).
The Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas will have the furniture on display from June 14 – 25 before the pieces are sold on June 25.
Part of the proceeds from the auction will benefit MusiCares, which provides healthcare for struggling musicians, and Joshua’s Heart, which combats world hunger.
