Certainly in California after Madmen there was a massive trend for buying mid century furniture and it pushed prices up. Is this still the case? And is the trend strong globally? Or Europe and the US mainly.

Here in Australia the trend seems to have settled a little bit, but interest in quality Mid-Century Furniture is still very strong, with strongest interest in Melbourne - not sure of UK prices, but a good quality Mid-Century Danish sideboard can be found starting at around $1,500 -$2,000 AUD, up to premium prices for like Wegner around the $8,000-$9,000 mark. Prices in Sydney seem to be much the same, but here in Adelaide bargains can still be found with a wider range of prices.

I think Mark Hill who's running our new course on Mid Century will be able to tell us about the London market when he comes along.
