This item is confirmed as having belonged to Grayson.  Unlike many things that pop up on Ebay.
 
Anyone got a few extra pennies ??

DIEGO GIACOMETTI
1902 - 1985
TABLE FEUILLES AUX OISEAUX ET GRENOUILLES

$80,000—120,000 USD

"By descent"- this can only mean either Sam or Matthew Hall is selling it.  Considering all the stuff Grayson and Sam collected together in NYC and their Rhinebeck house, it would make sense that some excess stuff would be sold off as time went on.

The table really is a ravishing little bibelot.  I love to think of her having coffee at it and relaxing.  She had such fabulous taste.

The table brought in 3X what it was estimated for, $317,000

so who broke into their retirement accounts for it?
