This artwork by Gio Ponti achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in Hong Kong in December 2020. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale in Association with Poly Auction auction, the work Pair of wingback armchairs, designed for the Hotel Royal, Naples sold for HKD 176,400.00 (€ 18,606.38) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 90,000.00.
