The 18th-century Badminton Cabinet has broken its own record as the most expensive piece of furniture sold at an auction, fetching more than £19 million ($36 million) at a sale.
Johan Kraeftner, director of the Liechtenstein Museum in Vienna, Austria, paid £19,045,250 ($36,829,704), including the buyer's premium, at a Christie's auction in London Thursday.
Kraeftner bought the cabinet on behalf of Prince Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein, for the museum.
