China auctioned off the most valuable antiques.

The most expensive bed

Although the market price of precious wood has declined this year, the auction record of Chinese classical furniture was set this spring. On April 27th, 2008, in the special session of Jia Dechun's auction of "Elegant Collection of Prosperous Times-Palace Red Sandalwood Furniture in Qing Dynasty", a flat-headed case of Qing Ganlong red sandalwood carving passion fruit took the lead in breaking the world record of Chinese classical furniture auction with a transaction price of 3 1.36 million yuan.
