Im Oktober 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion Masterpieces of Design & Photography durch, in der auch die Arbeit A rare and important dining suite von Carlo Mollino zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 668.750,00 (€ 762.505,90) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Carlo Mollino auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit An Important And Unique Dining Table im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.181.350,00 (€ 5.307.246,50).
