Brown saltman California turbine table
This table is a very special edition
Original owner
Other
Yes
Good afternoon, Carlos,
Thank you for this appraisal inquiry. What an interesting table! I've not found any auction sales of other turbine tables made by Brown Saltman - you mention this is a very special edition - was it a custom piece? Is there history or provenance I should know?
Many thanks!
Hi Carlos,
Thanks for your feedback. There is a gallery in Dania Beach, Florida, selling very similar things:

The prices they are asking are fairly high - in the $30,000 range - and are retail prices and usually subject to some negotiation on price between the gallery and buyer. Retail prices are usually 2-3 times higher than auction or fair market prices, so I think a reasonable value for your table, given that it is not new but also not antique, would be in the $8,000-12,000 or $10,000-15,000 range.
Hi, thanks for the appraisal, I would like to know where can I sell this table

It was bought at an art/furniture gallery in Miami Florida, that specialized in high end aviation pieces. We cannot locate the invoice but it was quite expensive for sure.
