Just seen this article and thought I'd share it with you good folks.

It looks like a desk from FRWL and YOLT is up for auction.

I think it's Blofeld's desk as far as I can work out from FRWL (see the link below) but can't find where it's been used in YOLT... anyone have any ideas.

Also if anyone on here wants to purchase it then happy bidding!

    I thought Danny Biederman owns that desk? Or is it that he owns a different conference table from S.P.E.C.T.R.E.?

    Actually, the auction house doesn't claim that this is the actual desk used in FRWL and YOLT, but rather the same model.

    A beautiful item though and great for anyone who already has a white Persian cat.

    Thanks--I hadn't seen that auction page.

    Sorry I read this in a rush in the wee small hours - so I've amended the title as I don't want anyone getting duped because of my misleading Topic.

    No need for an apology. The description wasn't misleading or even vague, but a quick read certainly did make it sound as though it was the desk! Still a great item though.

    Yes, Biederman owns the screen-used desk, bought at the Christie's auction.

    Though not mass-produced, this was a commercially made piece. Missing some hardware, this is actually the poorer of two to come-up recently, though the first was estimated at twice the price of the Sworder lot.

    There was no mention of YOLT in the Christie's listing so wondering if this there's a second desk in the EON warehouse?
